Reseña
This book brings together a series of empirical and review papers dealing with recent attempts to apply cognitive neuropsychology to cognitive rehabilitation. . . . Within each topic [area covered], there is a review chapter, covering both recent advances in cognitive theory and attempts to apply this to rehabilitation-related research. There are, additionally, overview chapters covering the general implications of cognitive neuropsychological research for cognitive rehabilitation, and introductions to the chapters within each topic area.
The papers present both a state-of-the-art review and an attempt to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the cognitive neuropsychological approach to cognitive rehabilitation. Papers evaluate the utility of cognitive neuropsychological analyses for both diagnosis and the design of therapy, and they also assess the use of rehabilitation research for testing theories of normal performance. This book is [intended] for all those interested in application of cognitive neuropsychology to cognitive rehabilitation. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
