Summary: In Principles of Neuropsychology, Eric A. Zillmer and Mary V. Spiers explain brain functioning in a clear, interesting, and progressive manner. Their guiding thesis is that all actions and interactions have a neuropsychological equivalent, whether adaptive or maladaptive. Studying the brain in terms of its behavioral products requires the firm grounding offered here in psychology, neuroanatomy, and neuropathology. Human neuropsuchology is emphasized, but not to the exclusion of basic experemental neuropsychology. Theory and research are integrated throughout, balanced by real-life examples of clinical and normal cases and procedures in a variety of settings. Readers who study this book are challenged to examine the field of neuropsychology as a framework for behaviour. - Back cover
