Book description
Based on the most up-to-date research, Child Neuropsychology is a
thorough and accessible guide to the key concepts and basic processes
central to neuropsychological assessment and child evaluation. Essays by
leading experts in the field cover basic neuropsychological functions
and related disorders in the context of brain development in gestation,
infancy, and childhood.
Divided into three sections, the text begins with clear definitions
of the concepts and methodology of brain development in infant and
child neuropsychology. Section two examines normal and abnormal
functional development and its impact on language, memory, and
perception. The final section considers professional practice and
provides valuable insights into the special problems of
neuropsychological assessment of infants and children in clinical and
educational settings.
