Description: Introducing Neuropsychology Second Edition investigates the functions of the brain and explores the relationships between brain systems and human behaviour. The material is presented in a jargon - free easy to understand manner and aims to guide students new to the field through current areas of research. Following a brief history of the discipline and a description of methods in neuropsychology the remaining chapters review traditional and recent research findings. Both cognitive and clinical aspects of neuropsychology are addressed to illustrate the advances scientists are making (on many fronts) in their quest to understand brain - behaviour relationships in both normal and disturbed functioning. The rapid developments in neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience resulting from traditional research methods as well as new brain - imaging techniques are presented in a clear and straightforward way. Each chapter has been fully revised and updated and new brain - imaging data are incorporated throughout especially in the later chapters on Emotion and Motivation and Executive Functions. As in the first edition key topics are dealt with in separate focus boxes and interim comment sections allow the reader a chance to take stock at regular intervals. The book assumes no particular expertise on the reader's part in either psychology or brain physiology. Thus it will be of great interest not only to those studying neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience but also to medical and nursing students and indeed anyone who is interested in learning about recent progress in understanding brain behaviour relationships.
