Synopsis

Volume 3 in the series "Handbook of Neuropsychology", covers traditional approaches to the topic as well as new techniques for investigating language disorders. Separate chapters provide detailed treatments of each of the prominent symptoms of aphasia (e.g., deficits of speech production and perception, of naming, repetition, comprehension, etc.), including cognitive and psycholinguistic interpretations. The cognitive disorders that are related to aphasia, including memory and attentional impairments, limb apraxia and acalculia, are discussed in separate chapters. Supplementing these reviews of aphasia research are chapters detailing other approaches to the study of language/brain relationships, including functional neuroimaging, event-related potentials, direct cortical stimulation and study of "split brain" patients. Each chapter provides a current review of its topic, with extensive references, providing invaluable reference material for the researcher and clinician.
