Description
It has been said more than once in psychology that one person's effect is another person's error term. By minimising and occasionally
ignoring individual and group variability cognitive psychology has yieled many fine achievements. However, when investigators are working
with special populations, the subjects, and the unique nature of the sample, come into focus and become the goal in itself. For developmental
psychologists, gerontologists and psychopathologists, research progresses with an eye on their target populations of study. Yet every
good study in any of these domains inevitably has another dimension. Whenever a study is designed to turn a spotlight on a special population,
the light is also shed on the mainstream from which the target deviates.
This book examines what we can learn about general and universal
phenomena in cognition and its brain substrates from examining the odd, the rare, the transient, the exceptional and the abnormal.
Audience
For developmental psychologists, gerontologists and psychopathologists.
