This book offers a comprehensive overview of advances made in the field of learning disabilities, in the service of diagnosis and remediation. The work includes genetic, electrophysiological, and brain imaging studies, and presents data on cognitive functions, laterality mechanisms, neuropsychological assessment, and subtyping of learning disabilities.
Key Features
* Presents impressive data on memory functions, laterality mechanisms, and subtyping of learning disabilities
* Represents an important milestone in our understanding of the contribution of neurobiology to learning disabilities
* Provides a thorough discussion of specific neuropsychological syndromes, in such areas as mathematics, reading, and speech and language
