Cognitive Neuropsychology and and Conversion Analysis in Aphasia – An Introductory Casebook Cognitive neuropsychology is already radically influencing the clinical practice of aphasia assessment and therapy. It has made it possible to analyse individuals’ language disorders through a psycholinguistic model and to quantify and evaluate the effects of intervention. The complementary methods of conversation analysis are also being introduced into assessment, with the potential for bringing a further structured approach to intervention.

The Cognitive Neuropsychology of Schizophrenia (Essays in Cognitive Psychology) Schizophrenic patients have bizarre experiences which reflect a disorder in the contents of consciousness. For example, patients hear voices talking about them or they are convinced that alien forces are controlling their actions. Their abnormal behaviour includes incoherence and lack of will. In this book an explanation of these baffling signs and symptoms is provided using the framework of cognitive neuropsychology.The cognitive abnormalities that underlie these signs and symptoms suggest impairment in a system which constructs and monitors representations of certain abstract (especially mental) events in….

Neuropsychology and Cardiovascular Disease Roughly one of every three Americans has some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including more than 70% of persons older than 75 years of age. Long associated with increased risk for mortality and disability, CVD is also a major risk factor for stroke and cerebrovascular disease. There has been growing consensus that CVD is also an important contributor to poor neurocognitive outcome in own right. Numerous studies now link CVD to accelerated cognitive decline, and structural and functional brain abnormalities, including neurodegnerative conditions in the elderly. While vascular dementia is the most obvious example of severe brain…. Click Here to Read More

From Neuropsychology to Mental Structure As a neuropsychologist, Tim Shallice considers the general question of what can be learned about the operation of the normal cognitive system–including perception, memory, and language–from the study of the cognitive difficulties arising from neurological damage and disease. He distinguishes two type of theories of normal function–primarily modular and primarily non-modular–and argues that the problems of making valid inferences about normal function from studies of brain-damaged subjects are more severe in the latter. He first analyzes five areas in which modularity can be assumed. He then examines these inferences, from group studies,…. Click Here to Read More

Human Cognitive Neuropsychology: A Textbook With Readings 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….

The Handbook of Sport Neuropsychology An estimated 300,000 sports-related concussions occur every year in the United States. Frank Webbe, one of the leaders in the emerging field of sport neuropsychology, presents the first handbook of sport neuropsychology. Webbe approaches the field using a conceptual framework, by presenting basic definitions, ethical considerations, risk factors and mechanisms, and counseling and rehabilitation principles. These considerations integrate research findings from a wide variety of professional and amateur sports (football, hockey, boxing, wrestling, etc.) Concomitant effects of mild and traumatic head injury such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s….

Geriatric Neuropsychology This major clinical reference and text is the first volume to systematically address the entire process of neuropsychological assessment and intervention with older adults. The expert editors and contributors detail the current state of knowledge about frequently encountered conditions ranging from mild cognitive impairment to progressive, stable, and reversible dementias. Evidence-based assessment and intervention strategies are described, and specific guidance is provided for linking neuropsychological evaluation to individualized treatment planning. Demonstrating an array of cognitive training, compensatory, and psychotherapeutic approaches, the volume shows…. Click Here to Read More

Neurogenetic Developmental Disorders: Variation of Manifestation in Childhood (Issues in Clinical and Cognitive Neuropsychology) Genetic disorders in children can have highly variable effects. Even relatively common disorders may go undiagnosed and untreated by clinicians who are not familiar with the range of “atypical” cognitive or behavioral symptoms possible in an affected child. Recent research in genetics and brain development has altered the phenotypic description of various disorders, but this new knowledge is not readily available to practitioners. This collection provides a single resource…. Click Here to Read More
