Neural Mechanisms of Language
This important volume brings together significant findings on the neural bases of spoken language –its processing, use, and organization, including its phylogenetic roots. Employing a potent mix of conceptual and neuroimaging-based approaches, contributors delve deeply into specialized structures of the speech system, locating sensory and cognitive mechanisms involved in listening and comprehension, grasping meanings and storing memories. The novel perspectives revise familiar models by tracing linguistic interactions within and between neural systems, homing in on the brain’s semantic network, exploring the neuroscience behind bilingualism and multilingual fluency, and even making a com...
Neuropsychological Research
In a broad sense, neuropsychology stands for the branch of brain sciences that aims to understand how the structure and function of the brain relate to specific cognitive and psychological processes. The idea of developing a research field somewhere between neurology and cognitive psychology emerged in the 1960s as a result of studies conducted by both disciplines which, although using different methodologies and tools, were analysing the same issues. Neuropsychology particularly puts emphasis on the clinical and experimental study of the cognitive effects of brain injury or neurological diseases, taking models of normal cognitive functioning into account.

A Companion to Paleoanthropology
A Companion to Paleoanthropology presents a compendium of readings from leading scholars in the field that define our current knowledge of the major discoveries and developments in human origins and human evolution, tracing the fossil record from primate and hominid origins to the dispersal of modern humans across the globe. Represents an accessible state-of-the-art summary of the entire field of paleoanthropology, with an overview of hominid taxonomy Features articles on the key discoveries in ape and human evolution, in cranial, postcranial and brain evolution, growth and development Surveys the breadth of the paleontological record from primate origins to modern humans Highlights the unique methods and techniques of paleoanthropology, including dating and ecological methods, and use of living primate date to reconstruct behavior in fossil apes and humans
Meertaligheid onder de loep
Het belang van meertaligheid in onze hedendaagse maatschappij kan niet genoeg benadrukt worden. Toenemende globalisering, migratie en technologische vernieuwingen maken van meertaligheid eerder de norm dan de uitzondering. Dit creëert nieuwe uitdagingen, zowel op onderzoeks- als op beleidsvlak. Want wanneer is iemand meertalig? Wat is de invloed van de omgeving? Wat doet meertaligheid met de hersenen? Wat als een meertalige plots een taalstoornis heeft? Welke cognitieve en affectieve factoren spelen een rol? Wat bevordert of belemmert de implementatie van meertalig onderwijs? Welke rol speelt meertaligheid bij de constructie van maatschappelijke en individuele identiteiten? Hoe beïnvloedt meertaligheid mediaprocessen en berichtgeving? Dit boek biedt een overzicht van de recentste inzichten over meertaligheid. Verscheidene auteurs komen aan het woord vanuit hun expertisedomein. Ze voeren onderzoek in de Belgische meertalige context, gekaderd in een Europees perspectief.
Die Macht der Freude
Glück und Lebensfreude scheinen für viele Menschen das wichtigste Ziel im Leben zu sein. Seltsam, dass wir uns dennoch so wenig darum kümmern. So war es auch bei Catherine Price. Als junge Mutter fand sie sich in einem Alltag wieder, der fast nur noch aus Pflichterfüllung bestand. Sie beschloss, sich auf die Suche nach der Freude zu machen. Und als sie sah, wie spärlich die Forschung zu Spaß und Freude ist, startete sie selbst eine Umfrage, an der sich mehr als 1.500 Menschen aus aller Welt beteiligten. Auf Grundlage dieser Recherche beantwortet sie Fragen wie: Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Freude und Glücklichsein, Zerstreuung, Spaß und Vergnügen? Und wie wirken eigentlich Dopamin und Serotonin? Am Ende entdeckt sie sogar eine Spaßformel, die hilft, sich wieder lebendig zu fühlen. »Dem Ernst des Lebens sollte man mit Spaß begegnen. Catherine Price hat die perfekte Anleitung zum vergnügten Widerstand geschrieben.« MATZE HIELSCHER

The Linguistic Cerebellum
The Linguistic Cerebellum provides a comprehensive analysis of this unique part of the brain that has the most number of neurons, each operating in distinct networks to perform diverse functions. This book outlines how those distinct networks operate in relation to non-motor language skills. Coverage includes cerebellar anatomy and function in relation to speech perception, speech planning, verbal fluency, grammar processing, and reading and writing, along with a discussion of language disorders. - Discusses the neurobiology of cerebellar language functions, encompassing both normal language function and language disorders - Includes speech perception, processing, and planning - Contains cerebellar function in reading and writing - Explores how language networks give insight to function elsewhere in the brain
Writing(s) at the Crossroads
This volume aims at contributing to an interpretive approach to writing and its dynamics. It offers a general scope on the process-product interface by multiplying the points of view on both the process and the product and their links. The book presents new findings and perspectives in the study of language and writing, both theoretical and methodological (e.g. dual process models of writing, pragmatics of writing, linguistic analysis of psycholinguistic units such as bursts of production). It also presents new tools for a longitudinal approach to the writing steps, key-stroke logging with integrated linguistic modules, and textometric analysis of written texts. The volume is composed of fiv...
