Selective Deficits in Developmental Cognitive Neuropsychology

<p>Traditionally cognitive neuropsychology has focused on selective impairments in individuals who suffered brain damage as adults. However in recent years there have been a number of cognitive neuropsychological studies of selective impairments due to developmental deficits. Papers in <em>Selective Deficits in Developmental Cognitive Neuropsychology </em>include a diverse range of disorders involving those affecting spatial orientation face recognition reading and memory. These papers illustrate the value of this approach and its promise as a means to gain insight into cognition and its neural and developmental basis.</p>
