Cognitive Neuropsychology and Neurolinguistics : Advances in Models of Cognitive Function and Impairment (Psychology Revivals)

Originally published in 1990, the chapters in Cognitive Neuropsychology and Neurolinguistics emphasize the development of detailed models of normal cognitive functioning through the analysis of cognitive impairment. They differ, however, in terms of the cognitive domain investigated and the dominant methodology of the reported research. Areas examined include imagery, attention, memory, and language. A substantial portion of the papers presented address language processing because research on language disorders was a major focus of interest in cognitive neuropsychological research at the time. Today it can be read in its historical context.
