This handbook introduces the reader to the thought-provoking
research on the neural foundations of human intelligence. Written
for undergraduate or graduate students, practitioners, and
researchers in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and related
fields, the chapters summarize research emerging from the rapidly
developing neuroscience literature on human intelligence. The
volume focusses on theoretical innovation and recent advances in
the measurement, modelling, and characterization of the
neurobiology of intelligence differences, especially from brain
imaging studies. It summarizes fundamental issues in the
characterization and measurement of general intelligence, and
surveys multidisciplinary research consortia and large-scale data
repositories for the study of general intelligence. A systematic
review of neuroimaging methods for studying intelligence is
provided, including structural and diffusion-weighted MRI
techniques, functional MRI methods, and spectroscopic imaging of
metabolic markers of intelligence.
Cognitive neuroscience isĀ theĀ interdisciplinary study
of how cognitive and intellectual functions are processed and
represented within the brain, which is critical to building
understanding of core psychological and behavioural processes such
as learning, memory, behaviour, perception, and consciousness.
Understanding these processes not only offers relevant fundamental
insights into brain-behavioural relations, but may also lead to
actionable knowledge that can be applied in the clinical treatment
of patients with various brain-related disabilities. This Handbook
examines complex cognitive systems through the lens of
neuroscience, as well as providing an overview of development and
applications within cognitive and systems neuroscience research and
beyond. Containing 35 original, state of the art contributions from
leading experts in the field, this Handbook is essential reading
for researchers and students of cognitive psychology, as well as
scholars across the fields of neuroscientific, behavioural and
health sciences. Part 1: Attention, Learning and Memory Part 2:
Language and Communication Part 3: Emotion and Motivation Part 4:
Social Cognition Part 5: Cognitive Control and Decision Making Part
6: Intelligence

focusses on the foundational principles, methods, and underlying
systems in cognitive and systems neuroscience, as well as examining
cutting-edge methodological advances and innovations. Containing 34
