Expert coverage brings traditional discrete areas of cognitive functioning (e.g., attention, memory) in line with highly nuanced relationships between cortical and subcortical processing. The new findings point to more accurate and targeted testing, as authors expand on the judicious addition of nonstandardized methods to core diagnostic tools and the underused capacity of neuropsychological testing to assess social behavior and personality. The book’s emphasis on cognition in context gives practitioners better understanding of assessment and evaluation, leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for individuals as well as significant improvements in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003eThis innovative reference:\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eReframes      cognitive functioning in light of current data on brain interconnectivity.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eCritiques      current methods of neuropsychological test interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eReviews      known, useful interpretive methodologies within a new context.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eFeatures      instructive case examples emphasizing accurate historical and test data.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRevisits      the strengths and limitations of the bell curve construct.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eExamines      the interpretive significance of pathognomonic signs.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDetails      strategies for making neuropsychological evaluations more clinically      relevant.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLarge\u003c\/i\u003e-\u003ci\u003eScale\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBrain\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSystems\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNeuropsychological\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eTesting\u003c\/i\u003e combines current findings, clinical sense, and common sense to ground neuropsychologists, school psychologists, child psychologists, and clinical social workers in the effective assessment of real-world functioning.                                                                                                         \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-06-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319803005\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-28222-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 141\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47198634999948,"sku":"9783319803005","price":58.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319803005.jpg?v=1775062427","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319803005","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
