Principles of Human Neuropsychology Zusammenfassung

Principles of Human Neuropsychology G. Dennis Rains

This accessible undergraduate text is the first to make teaching the neuropsychology course easier. Rains provides adequate depth and explanatory material to inspire student interest and motivation, and his in-depth approach not only makes the material easier for students to grasp, but reveals the exciting questions of the field remaining to be answered. PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN NEUROPSYCHOLOGY's other hallmark is to foster an appreciation for the interdisciplinary nature of neuropsychology by employing a levels of analysis approach-from single cell recording to the effects of large lesions.
