    Description

    These papers 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 has been a major focus of interest in cognitive neuropsychological research.

    Reviews

    "…represents a landmark in the evolution of models of language processing and contains a significant sample of current research in the field. This book constitutes useful reading for therapists who wish to base their work on recent theoretical foundations."

    —Neuropsychological Rehabilitation

    "…unquestionably merits a place in most academic library collections."

    —The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology
