Basic Mechanisms in Cognition and Language

Hardbound. An international constellation of leading scientists in the fields of linguistics, language development, cognitive sciences, neuropsychology and psychology have contributed to this excellent work. Their contributions elucidate a variety of important aspects of crucial mechanisms in cognition and language processing. Important issues highlighted include the early development of these mechanisms as well as the effects of weaknesses in these mechanisms in terms of language learning deficits in developmental dyslexia. Based on lectures given at a multidisciplinary conference, the volume is written in a universal style to accommodate scientists outwith their own fields. The book will be invaluable to a broad spectrum of professionals dealing directly or indirectly with the remediation of individuals afflicted with learning difficulties.
