Principles of Human Neuropsychology


Book Description

This accessible undergraduate text is the first to make teaching the neuropsychology course easier. Rains provides adequate depth and explanatory material to inspire student interest and motivation, and his in-depth approach not only makes the material easier for students to grasp, but reveals the exciting questions of the field remaining to be answered. PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN NEUROPSYCHOLOGY's other hallmark is to foster an appreciation for the interdisciplinary nature of neuropsychology by employing a levels of analysis approach--from single cell recording to the effects of large lesions.




Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology


Book Description

Written by respected academics in neuropsychology, this sixth edition guides students on a comprehensive journey of discovery through the realm of contemporary human neuropsychology. The book has a clinical focus throughout.




Human Cognitive Neuropsychology


Book Description

An extended version of the first edition, this book includes a set of research review papers which supplement the contents of each chapter by providing a discussion of current research issues and detailed investigations of individual cases.




Experimental Techniques in Human Neuropsychology


Book Description

This unique sourcebook describes the research methods used to study human brain function and brain-behavior relationships. These range from relatively simple approaches, such as dichotic listening and tachistoscopic presentation, to computerized techniques such as cerebral blood flow measurements. The description of each method covers the underlying theory, variations on the basic paradigm, dependent measures, reliability and validity, and the equipment required. The authors also critically review research with normal and clinical populations. Because of the rapid expansion of the field of human neuropsychology--and accompanying technological advances--this volume will be valued as much by experienced researchers as by newcomers seeking an introduction to the variety of available procedures.




Neuropsychology of Human Emotion


Book Description




Handbook of Cognitive Neuropsychology


Book Description

This volume reviews the full range of cognitive domains that have benefited from the study of deficits. Chapters covered include language, memory, object recognition, action, attention, consciousness and temporal cognition.




Human Neuropsychology


Book Description

G. Neil Martin provides comprehensive coverage of both basic and complex topics in neurophysiology and neuroanatomy. This second edition includes new chapters on memory and disorders of thought and mood and over thirty case studies.




Human Cognitive Neuropsychology (Classic Edition)


Book Description

Cognitive neuropsychology seeks to understand impairments of specific cognitive functions in relation to a model of normal cognitive processing. The conclusions drawn from the study of abnormal processes are in turn used in the development and testing of theories of normal cognition. First published in 1988, this seminal book represented an attempt to synthesize and systematize progress in the study of cognitive neuropsychology and therefore provides an important snapshot of the field at the time. In addition to reviewing different forms of impairment and discussing their implications for theories of normal function, this book also examines the empirical and theoretical foundations of the subject including the use of single-case studies and the assumptions that must be made about the mind and brain. This classic edition marks 25 years in print, and includes a brand new introduction written by the authors, Ellis and Young. The Augmented Edition of Human Cognitive Neuropsychology published in 1997 is also still available. This classic edition will be important reading for students of cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology.




Neuropsychological Toxicology


Book Description

Greatly revised, the Second Edition presents an extended survey of this rapidly growing field. The book reviews the effects of industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals on human behavior, cognitive function, and emotional status. Features include two new chapters addressing key forensic issues and recent views on multiple chemical sensitivity, sick building syndrome, and psychosomatic disorders; current data on NIOSH and OSHA exposure levels for industrial toxins; and enhanced coverage of testing methods; studies of PET, SPECT, and BEAM imaging applied to neurotoxic exposure.
