Highly readable and accessible, this book describes how research in
cognitive science is transforming the way scientists and clinicians
think about abnormal behavior. Bruce Pennington draws on work from
multiple disciplines to identify compelling links among psychiatric,
neurodevelopmental, and neurological disorders that are not generally
studied together. Presenting cutting-edge work on the brain systems
involved in key domains of neuropsychological functioning, Pennington
sheds light on acquired neurological disorders like aphasia and
amnesia, as well as the development of such conditions as
schizophrenia, depression, dyslexia, autism, and intellectual
disability. The book also reveals how the analysis of both typical and
atypical brain-behavior relationships can contribute to a neural
explanation of the self and consciousness.
