Cognitive Neuropsychology in Clinical Practice

The goal of this book is to introduce cognitive neuropsychology to a broad audience of clinicians and researchers. Sufficient introductory material is provided, and each topic is explored in enough depth to serve as a reference for cognitive psychologists and cognitive neuropsychologists. The editor has assembled a prominent group of researchers and clinicians to describe how the vocabulary, theoretical framework, and information-processing models of cognitive psychology are applied to various disorders of higher cortical function. This cognitive neuropsychological approach is applied to disorders of attention, memory, language, vision, calculation, and motor control.
