Bøker i Special Issues of Cognitive Neuropsychology-serien

This special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology brings together perspectives from scientists using a wide range of approaches to address enduring questions about the nature of cognition, its development, and its realization in the developing brain.

Features papers that consider the role of sensory-motor processes and their neural structures in higher cognitive functions such as visual and motor imagery, iconic memory and temporal judgment. The evidence brought to bear on this issue comes from behavioral studies of brain-damaged subjects and FMRI and TMS studies with normal subjects.

Papers in Selective Deficits in Developmental Cognitive Neuropsychology include a diverse range of disorders involving those affecting spatial orientation, face recognition, reading, and memory.

Includes papers, which describe computational models and principles that attempt to explain the performance of brain damaged subjects.

This special issue showcases new findings from many investigators in this field in studies that use a wide range of experimental techniques including brain imaging, ERPs, patient studies, and single-unit recording in monkeys.

The purpose of this special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology is to provide a forum for new findings and critical, theoretical analyses of existing data from patient and functional brain imaging studies.

Functional specialization is a property of biological systems generally. A unifying theme that cuts across all research areas and techniques in the cognitive and brain sciences is whether there is specialization of function at levels of processing that are ΓÇÿabstracted awayΓÇÖ from sensory inputs and motor outputs. The articles collected together within this issue advance our understanding of the roles of modularity and functional specialization in deriving inferences about the structure of the mind from behavior in normal and brain damaged individuals, functional neuroimaging, computational modeling, development, and the study of individual differences.

This special issue on perception and action presents original contributions from cognitive neuroscientists and cognitive neuropsychologists, who address this issue from different complementary perspectives.

To understand mental function, we need to uncover the processes underlying our ability to comprehend and produce words, sentences, numbers and objects. This special issue is a collection of papers that exemplifies this type of cognitive

The purpose of this special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology is to provide a forum for new findings and critical, theoretical analyses of existing data from patient and functional brain imaging studies.

This special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology is a collection of papers that exemplifies cognitive neuropsychology research. The special issue is designed to honour and pay tribute to Eleanor M. Saffran, who adopted the approach of investigating individuals with cognitive impairment following brain damage.
