Cognitive Science, Development, and Psychopathology: Typical and Atypical Developmental Trajectories of Attention

Cognitive Neuroscience, Development, and Psychopathology unites scholars sharing common interests in the development of attention and related areas of functioning with different perspectives and methodologies. The volume does not impose a single framework for discussing the relevant issues, but rather the authors highlight the importance of their own approaches to the study of the typical and atypical development of attention.
