Book Synopsis

Cognitive psychopathology is the scientific study of cognitive processes that pertain to the etiology and maintenance of various clinical disorders. Scholars of psychology from several anglophone countries describe the popularly used cognitive tasks in applied research, and provide for each both the necessary background and directions to more detailed information. They highlight five common categories of tasks: the Stroop, selective attention, implicit memory, directed forgetting, and autobiographical memory. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
