Sinopsis
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that allows a unique window on the relationship between mind and brain. The study of autism provides insight into the brain basis of the complex social interactions that are typical of human beings, since a profound impairment in social interactions is the hallmark of autistic disorders. While autism was first described almost 60 years ago, research into its cognitive and neurophysiological basis has intensified over the last two decades. Autism: mind and brain provides a comprehensive overview of currently conducted experiments, which are guided by bold theories that are being tested rigorously. With contributions from international leaders in autism research, the book focuses on new ideas and findings that are gradually influencing our understanding of autism and its variants. These new approaches include the use of functional and structural brain imaging studies as well as novel behavioural measures. Together they demonstrate significant advances in knowledge and testify to the development and integration of current cognitive theories of autism. The application of these new and sophisticated approaches forge a path forward for future autism research, and present powerful new insights into this fascinating and still puzzling disorder.

This book is a valuable collection of recent findings about autism and ASDs, and should definitely be within hands-reach of any serious researcher in the field. I recommend it for academic researchers, graduate students, clinicians and other professionals. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 18 The aim of this book is to consolidate our knowledge of the characteristics and manifestations of autism, whilst introducing new techniques to further this field of research. This will be a valuable resource for both established and new researchers who wish to understand how we can take forth our knowledge of autism and apply innovative technologies in future research investigations.
