Metacognition and Cognitive Neuropsychology: Monitoring and Control Processes by

Description: Metacognition and Cognitive Neuropsychology by Giuliana Mazzoni, Thomas O. Nelson In the last 2 decades, the importance of cognitive monitoring & control processes has been recognized & studied by researchers in 2 areas: metacognition & cog. neuropsych. In this book, major figures in each area open a dialogue across the gap and point FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Control processes are those mental functions that allow us to initiate, monitor, and prioritize mental activities. They are crucial to normal mental functioning. A better understanding of the nature of control processes and their deficits is important for clinical work and for an adequate theory of consciousness. Previously, control processes have been examined within the frameworks of two parallel but independent paradigms: those of cognitive psychology and of neuropsychology. Cognitive psychologists have stressed the theoretical and empirical nature of normal unimpaired control processes; neuropsychologists have focused on the relationships between damage to specific functional areas of the brain and deficits in specific control processes. Both have contributed extensively to our understanding of control processes. However, they have tended to operate independently, with little if any cross-talk between disciplines, despite the potential benefits such dialogue is likely to generate. This book represents the first attempt to synthesize cognitive and neuropsychological perspectives on control processes. It contains state-of-the-art reports on various aspects of control processes by experts from both disciplines. Author Biography Mazzoni, Giuliana; Nelson, Thomas O.

Review "In sum, Mazzoni and Nelson are to be commended for producing a first-rate volume on neuropsychology and metamemory, the first of its type.

The book is...well conceived."—Applied Cognitive Psychology"...offers a useful analysis of contemporary issues in metacognition."—American Journal of Psychology Details ISBN1138002828 Pages 224 Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd ISBN-10 1138002828 ISBN-13 9781138002821 Format Paperback Imprint Psychology Press Ltd Subtitle Monitoring and Control Processes Place of Publication Hove Country of Publication United Kingdom Edited by Thomas O.
