Description
This book is unique in that it gives equal weight to the psychological and neurological approaches to the study of cognitive deficits
in patients with brain lesions. The result is a balanced and comprehensive analysis of cognitive skills and abilities that departs from
the more usual syndrome approach favored by neurologists and the anti-localizationist perspective of cognitive psychologists.
Audience:
Graduate students in neuropsychology and clinical psychology, and students in neurology and psychiatry.
