In neuropsychology  attention has different meanings depending on the nature of the neurological disorder and the theoretical background of the investigator. To provide insight into these theoretical backgrounds  this volume opens with a discussion of psychological and neurobiological theories of attention. The book does not adopt a particular theoretical orientation but tries to clarify the various conceptualizations of attention that are encountered in the literature. Throughout  the book critically reviews the literature on attentional deficits in frequently occurring neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injury  Alzheimers disease  Parkinsons disease  and epilepsy. This material is organized according to the types of tasks used to investigate attention  such as tests of focused  divided and sustained attention. The book concludes with three chapters on topics that underline its practical aim: assessment of attention  the relationship between test performance and everyday activities  and the rehabilitation of impairments of attention. This comprehensive work will be invaluable to neuropsychologists  neurologists  clinical psychologists  gerontologists  and rehabilitation specialists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45792217628725,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195063732","price":242.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195063738.jpg?v=1784745723","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/clinical-neuropsychology-of-attention-9780195063738","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
