Care Giving for Alzheimer’s Disease
Veteran clinicians offer a unique framework for understanding the psychological origins of behaviors typical of Alzheimer's and other dementias, and for providing appropriate care for patients as they decline. Guidelines are rooted in the theory of retrogenesis in dementia--that those with the condition regress in stages toward infancy--as well as knowledge of associated brain damage. The objective is to meet patients where they are developmentally to best be able to address the tasks of their daily lives, from eating and toileting to preventing falls and wandering. This accessible information gives readers a platform for creating strategies that are respectful, sensitive, and tailored to in...

Evaluation and Treatment of Neuropsychologically Compromised Children
Evaluation and Treatment of Neuropsychologically Compromised Children: Understanding Clinical Applications Post Luria and Reitan defines what executive functions are, discusses differences in executive functioning between normative children and those with special education needs, identifies how best to perform neuropsychological assessments of executive function using both qualitative and quantitative measures, and presents the best treatment interventions for improvement. The book makes special note of the contributions of A.R. Luria, from Russia, and Ralph M. Reitan, from the US as the "fathers" of modern neuropsychology to help readers understand current advances in theory and clinical applications relating to executive function.
Neurología de la conducta y neuropsicología
Esta obra incluye aportaciones actualizadas de 31 profesionales de distintos ámbitos clínicos, universitarios y de investigación. Dichas aportaciones constituyen un hito en el desarrollo de la neurología de la conducta y la neuropsicología, dos caras del mismo problema: las relaciones entre el cerebro y la conducta, las capacidades cognitivas y las emociones. Esta relación, en el contexto de la clínica, adquiere una extraordinaria relevancia ya que los pacientes cerebrales presentan con gran frecuencia trastornos neuropsicológicos. Afasias, apraxias, amnesias, trastornos ejecutivos, demencias, son trastornos que afectan la vida cotidiana de los pacientes y su calidad de vida. Se introducen nuevos conceptos y enfoques a partir del rápido avance de los conocimientos actuales y se realiza un replanteamiento de muchas afirmaciones presentes en la literatura especializada. Los temas tratados incluyen un amplio abanico, desde las bases biológicas de la conducta, hasta la rehabilitación, pasando por los ámbitos tradicionales como afasias, apraxias, agnosias, alexias, agrafias, trastornos del esquema corporal, acalculias, amusias, amnesias, trastornos ejecutivos y demencias.
Neuropsycholinguistic Perspectives on Language Cognition
This book brings together experts from the fields of linguistics, psychology and neuroscience to explore how a multidisciplinary approach can impact on research into the neurocognition of language. International contributors present cutting-edge research from cognitive and developmental psychology, neuropsychology, psycholinguistics and computer science, and discuss how this contributes to neuropsycholinguistics, a term coined by Jean-Luc Nespoulous, to whom this book is dedicated. Chapters illustrate how researchers with different methods and theoretical backgrounds can contribute to a unified vision of the study of language cognition. Reinterpreting neuropsycholinguistics through the lens ...
Intellectual Disabilities in Down Syndrome from Birth and throughout Life: Assessment and Treatment
Research on the multiple aspects of cognitive impairment in Down syndrome (DS), from genes to behavior to treatment, has made tremendous progress in the last decade. The study of congenital intellectual disabilities such as DS is challenging since they originate from the earliest stages of development and both the acquisition of cognitive skills and neurodegenerative pathologies are cumulative. Comorbidities such as cardiac malformations, sleep apnea, diabetes and dementia are frequent in the DS population, as well, and their increased risk provides a means of assessing early stages of these pathologies that is relevant to the general population. Notably, persons with DS will develop the his...
