Book Description
This monograph provides the readers with a comprehensive neuroscience and cognitive studies in pregnant women in various trimesters of pregnancy. The authors’ goal is to provide significant findings about the states of cognitive function in pregnant women, in response to the claims of the ‘baby brain’ phenomenon, which has been debated for years. The event-related potential (ERP) electrophysiological technique is used to capture neural activity at various states of cognitive function, including pre-attentional and attentional processing, during varied types of visual and auditory stimuli. Furthermore, executive function evaluations using various neuropsychological tests are performed as a complement to reveal the states of cognitive function. This monograph provides answers to pregnant women who may experience forgetfulness about what is happening in their brains during pregnancy. It is intended to benefit readers with backgrounds in obstetrics and gyneacology, psychology and cognitive neurosciences. Furthermore, for those who are new to ERP and neuroscience research, this monograph lays out the fundamentals and basics of ERP in an experimental setting.

Neuropsychological Assessment of Neuropsychiatric Disorders
Author: Igor Grant
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780195090734
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 686
Book Description
A 1996 survey of the members of the American Board of Professional Psychology Diplomates, published by The Clinical Neuropsychologist journal, selected the first edition of this book as one of the "Essential Books and Journals in North American Clinical Neuropsychology"--a list which included only 10 other titles! The Second Edition has improved further on this high standard. While the authors have retained the same general structure--with the addition of a set of three chapters on psychosocial outcomes--virtually the entire book has been rewritten and thoroughly updated to reflect recent developments in this area of knowledge. Part I features new chapters on the Iowa-Benton approach, on cognitive screening methods, and on computers and memory. Part II has been expanded with new chapters on Tourette's syndrome, acute and chronic hypoxemia, HIV infection, schizophrenia, Huntington's disease, and an expanded chapter on Parkinson's disease. Part III is entirely new, and it focuses on life quality outcome in head injury and pulmonary disease. Considerably enlarged in size, this book will remain the basic reference on the neuropsychological aspects of diseases affecting brain and behavior.

Advances in Child Neuropsychology
Author: Michael G. Tramontana
Publisher: Springer
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
In the foreword to Volume 1 of this series, Byron Rourke noted that the field of child neuropsychology is still young. He wrote: "It has no obvious birthdate. Hence, we cannot determine its age with the type of chronoƯ metric precision for which our scientific hearts may yearn ... Be that as it may, activity in the field has been growing steadily, if not by leaps and bounds. Although there is nowhere near the intensity of inƯ vestigation of children from a neuropsychological standpoint as there is of adults, there have been notable systematic investigations of considerable interest. Some of the more important of these are presented in the current volume." I am happy to say that the contents of Volume 2 likewise provide new insights across many important domains of developmental neuroƯ psychology. As the editors note, this book consists of six chapters divided into four general areas, including developmental neuropsychology (one chapter), abnormal neuropsychology (three chapters), assessment (one chapter), and treatment (one chapter). The first chapter is addressed to attention, response inhibition, and activity level in children. In this chapter, Jeffrey M. Halperin, Kathleen E. McKay, Kristin Matier, and Vanshdeep Sharma provide a lucid and articulate review of research on this topic. The authors correctly note by that attention, response inhibition, and activity level are mediated neurocircuits throughout the brain that interact with and modulate virƯ tually all higher cognitive information-processing domains.

Methodological and Statistical Advances in the Study of Individual Differences
Author: Cecil R. Reynolds
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1468449400
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
Differential psychology, or the psychology of individual differences as it is better known, is perhaps the single most important basic psychological science that underlies professional practice in psychology. The recent age of behaviorism all but ignored individual differences, but in this decade the study has emerged from relative dormancy with a new vitality, fueled by new concepts, technologies, statistics, and new viewpoints on old ideas that are moving us forward. This work is intended to be a review of as well as a primer on many of these advances and new approaches to the study of individual differences. The venerable, interesting, and often controversial Eysenck opens the volume with a review of recent results and new techniques for unlocking the physiological basis of what is commonly understood to be intelligence. Eysenck and his students, in his London laboratory, have been fostering advances in this field for more than four decades. Their latest work could be the most exciting of Eysenck's illustrious, scholarly career. Eysenck's eye-opening, innovative work on the relationship between evoked potentials and performance on traditional psychometric measures, presented with a new slant, is certain to attract much attention in coming years. Eysenck and Barrett's chapter is followed by a closely related work by Arthur Jensen, who gives us a revitalizing look at the concepts of Sir Francis Galton, the founder of the psychology of individual differences.
