Introducing Neuropsychology investigates the functions of the brain and explores the relationships between brain systems and human behaviour, in a user-friendly textbook that draws on both established findings and cutting edge research.
"Introduction to Neuropsychology 2nd Edition provides a concise overview to the diverse and fascinating topics within this field. The chapters are up-to-date and well referenced, and theoretical debates are explained in meaningful terms; particularly welcome are the contributions from neuroimaging and the stimulating impact this has made to neuropsychology in general. A highly recommended read." - Dr Paul Richardson, Brain, Behaviour & Cognition Group, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
"This text serves as an excellent introduction to the fascinating field of neuropsychology and it is highly suitable for undergraduate students of psychology and/or neuroscience. The authors have endeavoured to avoid unnecessary use of obscure terms, and, where necessary, such terms are clearly explained. As a result, the book is eminently readable. I highly recommend it." - Jessica Fish, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge, UK
