Cognitive neuropsychology seeks to understand impairments of
specific cognitive functions in relation to a model of normal
cognitive processing. The conclusions drawn from the study of
abnormal processes are in turn used in the development and testing
of theories of normal cognition. First published in 1988, this
seminal book represented an attempt to synthesize and systematize
progress in the study of cognitive neuropsychology and therefore
provides an important snapshot of the field at the time. In
addition to reviewing different forms of impairment and discussing
their implications for theories of normal function, this book also
examines the empirical and theoretical foundations of the subject
including the use of single-case studies and the assumptions that
must be made about the mind and brain. This classic edition marks
25 years in print, and includes a brand new introduction written by
the authors, Ellis and Young. The Augmented Edition of Human
Cognitive Neuropsychology published in 1997 is also still
available. This classic edition will be important reading for
students of cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience and
neuropsychology.

This textbook augments the first edition through the inclusion of a
set of reseach and review papers selected by the authors to
supplement the contents of each chapter by providing a discussion
of research issues and detailed investigation of individual cases.
One or two papers supplement each chapter. A short introduction to
each set makes clear the nature of their contribution and how they
relate to each chapter's contents. Some of the papers are short
reviews of theoretical contributions; others are case studies in
the tradition of cognitive neuropsychology. At least three of the
main trends discernible in cognitive neuropsychology in the 1990s
are represented in the chosen papers. The first is the use of
connectionist models to simulate patterns of impairment in
brain-injured patients. The second is the growing convergence
between cognitive neuropsychology and neuroscience: cognitive
neuropsychologists are becoming increasingly interested in the
brain processes that underlie the preserved and damaged
psychological processes they study. The third trend is the
involvement of cognitive neuropsychologists in work on therapy and
rehabilitation.

In Act 1 scene iv of Macbeth, Duncan reflects that: 'There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face'. In contrast, the claim that Andy Young sets out in this book is that we are now developing a science of face perception which can indeed shed light on certain aspects of mental life. Face and Mind consists of a series of seminal research and review papers on face perception published by the author and his colleagues over the last 12 years. A comprehensive introductory chapter, written especially for this volume, serves to draw together the various themes explored in the different contributions. The book examines the question of how faces are special, in terms of their social, biological, and theoretical roles. In particular, Face and Mind seeks to determine what our understanding of the face can tell us about the human brain. It discusses the evidence for an evolved neural substrate for face perception, and the question of whether we are innately predisposed to recognise faces, to find them attractive, and to decode the many social signals they give us. The ability of the human brain to process and remember the many different faces that we see and subsequently recall is analysed. Young includes detailed studies of the types of impairment to face perception which can follow brain injury or psychiatric illness, and uses them to address these questions, as well as other issues of high intrinsic and interdisciplinary interest. These include the extent to which our mental lives result from the operation of discrete components devoted to different purposes, the differences between conscious and non-conscious processes, and how we use evidence to support our beliefs about the world. Because of the huge variety of social signals read from the face, it can offer unique theoretical and philosophical insights into these questions. This fascinating book will be of interest not only to psychologists and neuropsychologists working in the field of visual perception, but to cognitive scientists generally. It provides an excellent summary of the most important theorietical and empirical work done on face perception in recent years, and as such will be of interest to advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students in psychology, philosophy, and cognitive science.
