The Neurocognition of Language - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

This text brings together experts on human language and the brain to present a critical overview of the cognitive neuroscience of language. In-depth discussion of the representations and structures of language, as well as of the cognitive architectures which underlie speaking, listening, and reading, provide a basis for future brain imaging research. In addition, the existing brain imaging literature on word and sentence processing is critically reviewed, as well as contributions from brain lesion data. Finally, the book discusses the prospects and problems of brain imaging techniques for the study of language, presents analytic procedures for relating brain imaging data to the higher cognitive functions, and contains a review of the neuroanatomical structure of Broca's language area. This book is intended for researchers, lecturers, and graduate students in cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, and psycholinguistics.
