Cases of Amnesia
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-54555-7 (ISBN)
In all cognitive domains, neuropsychological research has advanced through the study of individual patients, and detailed observations and descriptions of their cases have been the backbone of medical and scientific reports for centuries. Cases of Amnesia describes some of the most important single case studies in the history of memory, as well as new case studies of amnesic patients. It highlights the major contribution they make to our understanding of human memory and neuropsychology.
Written by world-leading researchers and considering the latest theory and techniques in the field, each case study provides a description of the patient's history, how their memory was assessed and what conclusions can be made in relation to cognitive models of memory.
Edited by Sarah E. MacPherson and Sergio Della Sala, Cases of Amnesia is a must read for researchers and clinicians in neuropsychology, cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience.
Sarah E. MacPherson is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychology, University of Edinburgh, UK. Her research focuses on the cognitive and neuropsychological investigations of executive abilities, memory and emotional and social functioning in healthy and pathological ageing and damaged brains. Sergio Della Sala is Professor of Human Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh, UK. His research interests consider the relationship between brain and behaviour, including human memory from a neuropsychological perspective.
