The ability to communicate with written language is critical for
success in school and in the workplace. Unfortunately, many
children suffer from developmental dysgraphia-impairment in
acquiring spelling or handwriting skills-and this form of
impairment has received relatively little attention from
researchers and educators. This volume brings together, for the
first time, theoretically grounded and methodologically rigorous
research on developmental dysgraphia, presented alongside reviews
of the typical development of spelling and writing skills. Leading
experts on writing and dysgraphia shed light on different types of
impairments that can affect the learning of spelling and writing
skills, and provide insights into the typical development of these
skills. The volume, which contributes both to the basic science of
literacy and to the applied science of diagnosing and treating
developmental dysgraphia, should interest researchers, educators,
and clinicians. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology.
Cognitive neuropsychological research studies of people with
cognitive deficits have typically been directed either at
investigating methods of intervention, or at furthering our
understanding of normal and impaired cognition. This book reports
on research that combines these goals, using studies that use
intervention as a 'tool' for investigating hypotheses about the
functioning of the human cognitive system. The introductory chapter
discusses some of the unique and more general difficulties that
this approach faces, while the five reports describe intervention
studies with children and adults with cognitive impairments -
studies which investigate current theories of cognition. The
studies demonstrate that the use of intervention to study cognition
is a promising and valuable methodology. Aiming to promote wider
use of these combined methods, this book makes it clear that while
the approach faces various methodological and interpretative
challenges, it has the advantage of providing advances on issues of
theory while, at the same time providing treatment to participants,
and bringing together what have been largely separate research
traditions. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Cognitive Neuropsychology.

The abilities and disabilities of individuals who have suffered neurological damage have long provided a wealth of fascinating and useful insights into the nature and structure of human cognition and its neural bases. Indeed, data from impaired performance have often played a central role in our understanding of the skills and abilities of the human mind/brain. This volume reviews the full range of cognitive domains that have benefited from the study of deficits. Chapters cover not only the better-known domains such as language and memory, but also object recognition, action, attention, and consciousness as well as musical, numerical, spatial and temporal cognition. The authors consist of an international collection of researchers who, in each chapter, present the central issues of cognitive processing in their domain of expertise and highlight the contributions that studies of impaired performance have made to our understanding of these issues. In addition to the survey of cognitive domains, this volume also includes chapters that address foundational and historical topics as well as questions regarding future directions for the enterprise of cognitive neuropsychology.
