L'approche des troubles logopediques de la sphere O.R.L. est une suite logique d'un premier ouvrage dans lequel les auteurs avaient tente de circonscrire les notions et de definir les termes utilises par les logopedes-orthophonistes dans le contexte du developpement normal du langage et de sa pathologie. La recherche s'est poursuivie dans des domaines tres pointus de l'action diagnostique et therapeutique du logopede. Le lecteur pourra decouvrir, au fil des pages, un enchainement de termes qui permettent de circonscrire le travail logopedique dans les secteurs de dysfonctionnement tubaire, de l'orthopedie dento-faciale, de la dysphagie et des dysphonies. La coherence de ce travail tient au f...
This collection of essays forms a comprehensive overview of this crucial component of human cognitive function.
After years of neurohype and a neuroskeptic backlash, this book provides a systematic analysis of the contributions to self-understanding cognitive neuroscience (CNS) and philosophy can make. The stories of five people in search of self-understanding serve as touchstone throughout the book. Their identities are tied up with what they love. The book provides in-depth analyses of CNS of love and CNS of self-reflection. It critically discusses philosophers who focus on the relation between love, self-understanding and selfhood, such as Harry Frankfurt, Susan Wolf, Charles Taylor and Søren Kierkegaard. It also builds an argument about CNS’ contributions to self-understanding more broadly, and how different these are from philosophy’s contributions. The book develops conceptual review as a philosophical method for improving the validity and comparability of CNS studies. It integrates CNS insights into its philosophical view on love and selfhood where applicable. This book thus argues and exemplifies that philosophy and CNS can work together.
A theory of the neural bases of aesthetic experience across the arts, which draws on the tools of both cognitive neuroscience and traditional humanist inquiry. In Feeling Beauty, G. Gabrielle Starr argues that understanding the neural underpinnings of aesthetic experience can reshape our conceptions of aesthetics and the arts. Drawing on the tools of both cognitive neuroscience and traditional humanist inquiry, Starr shows that neuroaesthetics offers a new model for understanding the dynamic and changing features of aesthetic life, the relationships among the arts, and how individual differences in aesthetic judgment shape the varieties of aesthetic experience. Starr, a scholar of the humani...
The enormous human and economic toll of Alzheimer's Disease in societies in which more and more people are living into old age is well-recognized. Scientists and practitioners alike have been working to limit it. Their major focus has been patients in the later stages of the disease, when dementia is fully established. Yet patients in the early stages of cognitive decline, far more numerous, often still living independently with family members, present a bewildering variety of challenges. Bringing together leading authors with diverse expertise, this Handbook offers the first comprehensive overview of approaches to the management of early-stage issues. The authors summarize the important imp...
The collection of papers presented covers a range of stimulating memory-related topics, ranging from a study of autobiographical memory, working memory, an investigation into "medial temporal lobe" versus "diencephalic" amnesia (combined with an evaluation of different forms of image analysis), neuroimaging and "psychogenic amnesia", an empirical review paper, a study of incidental retrieval in the context of encoding, a critique of contemporary neuroimaging research (with specific reference to the anatomical lesion literature), a neuroimaging study of memory using event-related functional neuroimaging, a paper concerned with the interpretation and meaning of psychological data obtained from...
The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Literary Studies applies developments in cognitive science to a wide range of literary texts that span multiple historical periods and numerous national literary traditions.
This book describes the latest advances in our psychological understanding of Alzheimer's disease, bringing together the main experts in this field to describe recent developments. It will be valuable for people working in related disciplines, such as neurology, psychiatry and neuroscience researchers, as well as providing an introduction to the field for psychologists.
This pragmatist interpretation of habits provides a unifying concept for 4E cognitive science, neuroscience, philosophy, and social theory.
