Neuropsicología clínica hospitalaria
La neuropsicología clínica ha alcanzado un desarrollo sorprendente en las últimas décadas; el neuropsicólogo se integra a los equipos de salud en los hospitales donde se atiende a personas con enfermedades neurológicas, psiquiátricas, así como en los servicios de geriatría, traumatología, medicina interna y otros. En este libro se describen las bases teóricas y metodológicas de la práctica de la neuropsicología clínica hospitalaria. Está dirigido tanto a los profesionales de la salud, como a los propios enfermos y a sus familiares. La obra se divide en cuatro secciones. En la primera se presentan los fundamentos teóricos y metodológicos de la disciplina. La segunda sección...
Neuropsicología y analfabetismo
El analfabetismo es reconocido mundialmente como uno de los problemas más graves que un país puede experimentar. Diferentes estudios han mostrado cómo la falta de escolarización, junto con la falta de alfabetización, es decir, la capacidad de leer y escribir, influyen negativamente sobre el rendimiento cognitivo en tareas que miden aprendizaje y memoria, habilidades visoespaciales y visomotoras, funciones ejecutivas, lenguaje, entre otros. Por tanto, una adecuada evaluación neuropsicológica es necesaria para discernir entre el efecto que tiene la falta de escolarización y alfabetización en los procesos cognitivos de los ocasionados por el daño cerebral o las enfermedades neurodegen...
Neurocovid
El Departamento de Neurociencias del Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud presenta esta obra científico-académica que estudia los efectos de la enfermedad covid-19 sobre el sistema nervioso (afecciones también conocidas como "neurocovid"), a fin de comprender, actualizar y divulgar oportunamente el conocimiento sobre esta afectación, sus complicaciones, secuelas y efectos secundarios a largo plazo por la acción del virus SARS-CoV-2 y el desarrollo de la enfermedad. Tiene, además, el propósito de motivar esfuerzos de investigación para abordar, prever y reducir el impacto funcional de la infección, particularmente en los aspectos neuropsicológico y neuropsiquiátrico de los pacientes.
Daño cerebral
El daño cerebral supone una de las principales causas de discapacidad y muerte en jóvenes y adultos en el mundo. Debido a los avances relacionados con la atención prestada a estos pacientes en los servicios de urgencias y cuidados intensivos, el número de personas que sobreviven a este padecimiento ha aumentado durante los últimos años. Es por esta razón que los profesionales de la psicología y neuropsicología deben reforzar su conocimiento de las características clínicas, cognitivas, emocional y conductuales que cada tipo de daño cerebral puede ocasionar, y cómo estas pueden afectar la capacidad de retomar la vida familiar, social y laboral. Daño cerebral surge con el propósi...
Memory Development from Early Childhood Through Emerging Adulthood
Based on decades of established research findings in cognitive and developmental psychology, this volume explores and integrates the leading scientific advances into infancy and brain-memory linkages as well as autobiographical and strategic memory. In addition, given that the predominantly classic research on memory development has recently been complemented by more cutting-edge applied research (e.g., eyewitness memory, memory development in educational contexts) in recent years, this volume also provides in-depth and up-to-date coverage of these emerging areas of study.
Research on Emotion and Learning: Contributions from Latin America
Latin America has increased its share of world scientific publications by nearly twofold during the last two decades (approximately from 2 to 4%). Despite this positive trend, the scholarly impact of scientific research produced in the region - measured in terms of citation rate - remains low. Two interrelated factors that contribute to this situation is that most research groups tend to work in isolation or in local sporadic collaboration, and results are often published in journals that are not indexed in major citation databases (e.g., SCOPUS, or Web of Science). Ultimately, part of Latin American high-quality research seems to remain hidden from the rest of the world. Over the last decad...
Handbook of Clinical Child Neuropsychology
The past decade has brought important advances in our understanding of the brain, particularly its influence on the behavior, emotions, and personality of children and adolescents. In the tradition of its predecessors, the third edition of the Handbook of Clinical Child Neuropsychology enhances this understanding by emphasizing current best practice, up-to-date science, and emerging theoretical trends for a comprehensive review of the field. Along with the Handbook’s impressive coverage of normal development, pathology, and professional issues, brand-new chapters highlight critical topics in assessment, diagnostic, and treatment, including, The role and prevalence of brain dysfunction in A...
The Europeanization of National Foreign Policies Towards Latin America
Who shapes the European Union's policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states' relations with the region? This book provides a comparative account of seven member states' bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of 'Europeanization'. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to be bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU's foreign relations.
The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
