ISBN: 9780805826869 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first volume that focuses on the lifespan neurobehavioral factors likely to determine susceptibility to alcohol abuse and its consequences. The chapters offer careful analysis of the effects of ethanol on the fetus, the infant, the adolescent, and the adult. The authors include behavioral neuroscientists and clinical neuropsychologists. Their topics range from the neurochemical and neuroanatomical consequences of prenatal alcohol to the cognitive consequences of prenatal alcohol on preschool and school-age children. The impact of genetics on sensitivity to alcohol is considered in...

Individual Differences in Posttraumatic Response: Problems with the Adversity-Distress Connection
ISBN: 9780805827132 / Angielski / Twarda / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text grew out of the author's life-long interest in biographies and her clinical work with people who have suffered bad accidents. Some individuals become significantly disorganized and distressed after what was a minor event by any objective criterion, while others who experience a vastly more terrible event often show a remarkable resilience. In attempting to make sense of this diversity of responses, Bowman studied coping behaviours earlier in her research career.

Prevention and Societal Impact of Drug and Alcohol Abuse
ISBN: 9780805831580 / Angielski / Miękka / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is generally acknowledged that the most cost-effective means of curtailing alcohol and drug abuse is prevention. Providing interventions to at-risk individuals before they develop serious problems with substance use is the most important component of the war on drugs. Fortunately, there has been a dramatic increase in the quantity and quality of scientific research on those areas crucial to the advancement of prevention science. Documenting these accomplishments and setting the stage for future efforts comprise the focus of this volume.

Nonverbal Perceptual and Cognitive Processes in Children With Language Disorders : Toward A New Framework for Clinical intervention
ISBN: 9780805832129 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A growing body of literature is suggesting that many children with language disorders and delays - even those with so-called specific language impairment - have difficulties in other domains as well. In this study, the authors draw on more than 40 years of research and clinical observations of populations ranging from various groups of children to adults with brain damage, to construct a comprehensive model for the development of the interrelated skills involved in language performance, and trace the crucial implications of this model for intervention. Early tactual feedback, they argue, is...

Cross-Cultural Neuropsychological Assessment: Theory and Practice
ISBN: 9780805833560 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a book for all neuropsychologists who are called upon to assess culturally different clients--with very few exceptions today, this means every neuropsychologist. In Minneapolis as in Oslo, migrant and refugee minorities raise assessment and test validity problems that cannot be ignored. To deal realistically with the problem of doing neuropsychological assessments without norms, Nell describes the principles of a "behavioral neuropsychology," and then sets out interview, test, and interpretation methods that will allow clinicians to produce valid and prognostically accurate...

The Effects of Early Adversity on Neurobehavioral Development
ISBN: 9780805834062 / Angielski / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There has been a burgeoning of interest in the relation between biological development--particularly brain development--and behavioral development. This shift in focus does a better job of reflecting the whole child and all of development. Not surprisingly, many of the individuals who are concerned with the theoretical side of brain-behavior relations are also concerned with the more practical side. The chapters that comprise this 31st volume of the Minnesota Symposium series collectively capture the subtle dance between the biological and behavioral aspects of early adversity as it...

Effort: A Behavioral Neuroscience Perspective on the Will
ISBN: 9780805860092 / Angielski / Twarda / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Effort: A Behavioral Neuroscience Perspective on the Will, author Jay Schulkin presents a two-fold thesis: there is no absolute separation of the cognitive and non-cognitive brain, and there are diverse cognitive systems, many of which are embodied in motor systems that underlie self-regulation. Central to this thesis is that dopamine is the one neurotransmitter that underlies the diverse senses of effort, and is apparent in most everyday activity, whether solving a problem in our head or moving about. As scientific literature abounds with studies of decision-making and effort,...
