This text balances experimental and clinical perspectives with a survey of a variety of mental functions. In a conversational style, the author provides clear, accessible explanations of difficult concepts, making use of analogies and case studies to illustrate them. A consistent structure throughout each chapter defines a mental function and the role of each part or parts of the brain in that function, followed by a discussion of what neuropsychological syndromes say about the cognitive and neural organization of the mental function.

An excellent text,
By
This review is from: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropsychology (Student Text) (Hardcover)
This textbook is an excellent introduction to cognitive neuroscience and human neuropsychology. It integrates what is known (2004) about cortical control of cognitive processes with the strategies the cortical hemispheres can utilize in problem solving. The text also deals, I think fairly, with current issues in cognitive science that have yet to be fully resolved.
The text assumes little prior knowledge, and is clearly written. Although the topics include neuroanatomical terms beyond the ordinary, they are almost always explained clearly so that students can follow the important issues. I have used it three times in courses that I have taught and would hope that the text will be updated to remain current so that I may do so again.

Necessary for school - but I did not like this book.,
By Corene (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropsychology (Student Text) (Hardcover)
This is one of those text books you actually get angry at. "Intro" levels of such difficult subjects should not be so verbose.
Still, the book has a lot of information. It is organized nicely, has good graphics, and has a very, very good summary at the end of each chapter. There are very interesting stories that go along with each chapter.

This review is from: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropsychology (Student Text) (Hardcover)
This text book offers answers to complex details of cognition in easy to follow terms. In addition to basic descriptions it provides sources for further reading. Good basic reference book to hold on to.
