This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An impassioned indictment, one that glows with the heat of a prosecution motivated by an ethical imperative.” —Lisa Appignanesi, New York Review of Books In the first comprehensive history of the links between autism and Nazism, prize-winning historian Edith Sheffer uncovers how a diagnosis common today emerged from the atrocities of the Third Reich. As the Nazi regime slaughtered millions across Europe during World War Two, it sorted people according to race, religion, behavior, and physical condition. Nazi psychiatrists targeted children with different kinds of minds—especially those thought to lack social skills—claiming the Reich had no place for them. Hans Asperger and his colleagues endeavored to mold certain “autistic” children into productive citizens, while transferring others to Spiegelgrund, one of the Reich’s deadliest child killing centers. In this unflinching history, Sheffer exposes Asperger’s complicity in the murderous policies of the Third Reich.
Book Synopsis Working Memory, Thought, and Action by : Alan Baddeley
Download or read book Working Memory, Thought, and Action written by Alan Baddeley and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-03-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Working Memory, Thought, and Action' is the magnum opus of one of the most influential cognitive psychologists of the past 50 years. This new volume on the model he created (with Graham Hitch) discusses the developments that have occurred within the model in the past twenty years, and places it within a broader context. Working memory is a temporary storage system that underpins our capacity for coherent thought. Some 30 years ago, Baddeley and Hitch proposed a way of thinking about working memory that has proved to be both valuable and influential in its application to practical problems. This book updates the theory, discussing both the evidence in its favour, and alternative approaches. In addition, it discusses the implications of the model for understanding social and emotional behaviour, concluding with an attempt to place working memory in a broader biological and philosophical context. Inside are chapters on the phonological loop, the visuo-spatial sketchpad, the central executive and the episodic buffer. There are also chapters on the relevance to working memory of studies of the recency effect, of work based on individual differences, and of neuroimaging research. The broader implications of the concept of working memory are discussed in the chapters on social psychology, anxiety, depression, consciousness and on the control of action. Finally, Baddeley discusses the relevance of a concept of working memory to the classic problems of consciousness and free will. This new volume from one of the pioneers in memory research will doubtless emulate the success of its predecessor, and be a major publication within the psychological literature.
Download or read book Time to Plan written by Lisa Palmqvist and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children and adolescents with intellectual disability (ID) have difficulties in executive functioning and when coping with everyday planning tasks. However, the literature cannot explain whether individuals with ID perform according to their developmental level or not. The studies in this thesis investigated if life experience could be a contributing factor to the diversity seen in the literature. Planning performance can be improved by either using external or internal support. Assistive technology for cognition (ATC) is an example of external support. This thesis investigated how the ATC is being used in an everyday planning situation which has not been investigated before. Furthermore, this thesis explored whether the internal supports of cognitive abilities and life experience correlate with planning ability in adolescents with ID, and if planning ability can be trained using a cognitive training program for everyday planning. Results showed that ATC supported cognitive functions, but that the children did not formulate the plans themselves. Furthermore, the results support the difference model of ID since planning correlated with different cognitive measures and life experience in adolescents with ID compared to children with a typical development. Adolescents with ID got better at the planning tasks in the training program, however, no transfer effects to untrained planning tasks were found. To conclude, the planning was supported by external and internal support. However, ATC needs to be designed and prescribed in a way that increases independence. Practitioners should actively support in training planning and should be cautious when introducing cognitive interventions if the transfer gap is too large. Barn och ungdomar med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning (IF) har svårt med sina exekutiva funktioner och dagliga planeringsuppgifter. Litteraturen kan dock inte förklara om individer med IF presterar enligt deras utvecklingsnivå eller inte. Studierna i denna avhandling undersökte om livserfarenhet kan vara en bidragande faktor till varför denna skillnad ses i litteraturen. Planeringsförmågan kan förbättras genom att använda externt eller internt stöd. Hjälpteknik för kognition (HM-K) är ett exempel på externt stöd. Denna avhandling undersökte hur HM-K används i en vardaglig planeringssituation vilket inte har undersökts tidigare. Vidare undersökte denna avhandling om de interna stöden för kognitiva förmågor och livserfarenhet korrelerar med planeringsförmåga hos ungdomar med IF, och om planeringsförmåga kan förbättras med hjälp av ett kognitivt träningsprogram för vardagsplanering. Resultaten visade att HM-K stödde kognitiva funktioner, men att barnen inte formulerade planerna själva. Vidare stöder resultaten skillnadsmodellen för IF eftersom planering korrelerade med olika kognitiva mått och livserfarenhet hos ungdomar med IF jämfört med barn med en typisk utveckling. Ungdomar med IF blev bättre på planeringsuppgifterna i träningsprogrammet, men inga överföringseffekter till otränade planeringsuppgifter hittades. Avslutningsvis så stöds planeringen av externa och interna stöd. HM-K måste dock utformas och förskrivas på ett sätt som ökar självständighet. Praktiker bör aktivt stödja träning av planering och bör vara försiktiga när de inför kognitiva insatser om överföringsgapet är för stort.
Book Synopsis Visuo-spatial Working Memory by : Robert H. Logie
Download or read book Visuo-spatial Working Memory written by Robert H. Logie and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representation of the visual and spatial properties of our environment is a pivotal requirement of everyday cognition. We can mentally represent the visual form of objects. We can extract information from several of the senses as to the location of objects in relation to ourselves and to other objects nearby. For some of those objects we can reach out and manipulate them. We can also imagine ourselves manipulating objects in advance of doing so, or even when it would be impossible to do so physically. The problem posed to science is how these cognitive operations are accomplished, and proffered accounts lie in two essentially parallel research endeavours, working memory and imagery. Working memory is thought to pervade everyday cognition, to provide on-line processing and temporary storage, and to update, moment to moment, our representation of the current state of our environment and our interactions with that environment. There is now a strong case for the claims of working memory in the area of phonological and articulatory functions, all of which appear to contribute to everyday activities such as counting, arithmetic, vocabulary acquisition, and some aspects of reading and language comprehension. The claims for visual and spatial working memory functions are less convincing. Most notable has been the assumption that visual and spatial working memory are intimately involved in the generation, retention and manipulations of visual images. There has until recently been little hard evidence to justify that assumption, and the research on visual and spatial working memory has focused on a relatively restricted range of imagery tasks and phenomena. In a more or less independent development, the literature on visual imagery has now amassed a voluminous corpus of data and theory about a wide range of imagery phenomena. Despite this, few books on imagery refer to the concept of working memory in any detail, or specify the nature of the working memory system that might be involved in mental imagery. This essay follows a line of reconciliation and positive critiquing in exploring the possible overlap between mental imagery and working memory. Theoretical development in the book draws on data from both cognitive psychology and cognitive neuropsychology. The aim is to stimulate debate, to address directly a number of assumptions that hitherto have been implicit, and to assess the contribution of the concept of working memory to our understanding of these intriguing core aspects of human cognition.
Book Synopsis Learning and Memory Developments and Intellectual Disabilities by : Lucas C. Eklund
Download or read book Learning and Memory Developments and Intellectual Disabilities written by Lucas C. Eklund and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews behavioural and neuroimaging evidence that has revealed effects of emotion on memory and attention in individuals with and without post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The authors also review the historical development of memory reconsolidation, discuss some of the important behavioural characteristics and potential mechanisms of memory reconsolidation, and consider the possible implications of this research for treatment of psychiatric conditions such as PTSD, phobias and drug addiction. Moreover, assessment of cognitive, motor, sensory and communicative functions in children with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) is still in its infancy. The characteristics of children PIMD are described in this book. The importance of alertness in assessment, both as a mean and as an objective, is then explained. The implications of such a complex pattern of disabilities for assessment of alertness is considered as well. In this book, the authors also examine the effects of age and knowledge of memory ageing on subjective appraisals of memory in forgetful others using a person perception paradigm. The social/communication features that differentiate intellectual disabilities of three different aetiologies: Low Functioning Autism, Down Syndrome and Idiopathic Intellectual Disability are explored as well. Other chapters review evidence about laboratory-based and environment-based research on spatial memory, the influence of music on various forms of memory, and evidence from literature that working memory is a major component of successful performance on an IQ test. Impairment is discussed in working memory in ID, which could also affect problem solving abilities on a non-verbally based measure, such as the Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (RCPM).
Download or read book Dyslexia written by Margaret J. Snowling and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1991-01-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out a new framework for understanding both the development of reading and spelling skills and the problems many children have in acquiring them. Developmental dyslexia is best understood, Margaret Snowling argues, in terms of the interaction between a child's cognitive make up and the demands of learning to read. At critical times in their development, dyslexic children do not possess the specific cognitive skills which are conducive to reading and spelling. Making clear the limitations of traditional 'medical' and 'educational' theories of dyslexia, Margaret Snowling writes from the standpoint of cognitive and developmental psychology. She considers not only the causes of reading and spelling problems, but also how in spite of their difficulties dyslexic children can and do learn to read - how they accomplish a level of literacy which initially seems beyond them. She concludes by asking what psychological research can tell us about the best means of helping dyslexic children.
Book Synopsis Pragmatic Disorders by : Louise Cummings
Download or read book Pragmatic Disorders written by Louise Cummings and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging survey of the state of the art in clinical pragmatics includes an examination of pragmatic disorders in previously neglected populations such as juvenile offenders, children and adults with emotional and behavioural disorders, and adults with non-Alzheimer dementias. This book makes a significant contribution to the discussion of pragmatic disorders by exploring topics which have a fast-rising profile in the field. These topics include disorders in which there are both pragmatic and cognitive components, and studies of the complex impacts of pragmatic disorders such as mental health problems, educational disadvantage and social exclusion. This book also presents a critical evaluation of our current state of knowledge of pragmatic disorders. The author focuses on the lack of integration between theoretical and clinical branches of pragmatics and argues that the work of clinicians is all too often inadequately informed by theoretical frameworks. She attempts to bridge these gaps by pursuing a closer alliance of clinical and theoretical branches of pragmatics. It is claimed that this alliance represents the most promising route for the future development of the field. At once a yardstick measuring progress thus far in clinical pragmatics, and also a roadmap for future research development, this single-author volume defines where we have reached in the field, as well as where we have to go next.

Book Synopsis Cognition in Children by : Usha Goswami
Download or read book Cognition in Children written by Usha Goswami and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook aims to provide a selective, but representative, review of work in cognitive development, grouped around themes that are familiar from textbooks of adult cognition. The book focuses on the question of what develops, rather than on why it develops. The findings of a given experimental study what develops are generally fixed, but the interpretation of what particular findings mean why is fluid. Some of the experiments discussed in this book have alternative explanations, and every student interested in children's cognition is invited to develop their own ideas about what different studies mean.

Book Synopsis Liens entre émotions et mémoire chez le jeune adulte et dans le vieillissement normal by : Cécile Guillaume
Download or read book Liens entre émotions et mémoire chez le jeune adulte et dans le vieillissement normal written by Cécile Guillaume and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'objectif de cette thèse est de préciser l'effet des émotions sur trois systèmes de mémoire (mémoire épisodique, sémantique et perceptive) dans le fonctionnement normal (sujets jeunes et âgés). De nombreuses études ont montré que les émotions ont un effet bénéfique sur la mémoire épisodique mais les autres systèmes ont été peu explorés ; de plus ces résultats ont été observés chez les sujets jeunes mais ils sont moins clairs chez les sujets âgés. Notre première étude menée chez des sujets jeunes a montré que l'effet des émotions de faible intensité (visages émotionnels) sur la mémoire est peu marqué : seules les émotions négatives ont un effet bénéfique sur la mémoire épisodique et la mémoire perceptive, les émotions positives ayant au contraire un effet perturbateur sur la mémoire épisodique. Concernant le vieillissement et ses effets sur la mémoire, nous avons montré que des modifications de l'activité cérébrale peuvent survenir dès 50 ans, bien avant les premières modifications comportementales. De plus, l'analyse des potentiels évoqués a montré que tous les processus mnésiques ne sont pas sensibles à l'âge de la même manière. Enfin, nous avons montré dans une troisième étude que l'effet des émotions s'inverse en partie avec l'âge : les performances en mémoire sémantique sont améliorées par les émotions positives alors que les performances en mémoire épisodique déclinent davantage pour les visages négatifs, l'effet restant inchangé pour la mémoire perceptive. L'ensemble de ces résultats suggère que l'effet des émotions pourrait être distinct selon le système de mémoire et que cet effet évolue avec l'âge pour la mémoire épisodique et la mémoire sémantique.
Book Synopsis Neuropsychologie et troubles des apprentissages chez l'enfant by : Michèle Mazeau
Download or read book Neuropsychologie et troubles des apprentissages chez l'enfant written by Michèle Mazeau and published by Elsevier Masson. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage résolument théorico-clinique rassemble, en un seul volume richement illustré, l'ensemble de la ymptomatologie des troubles spécifiques du développement cognitif chez l'enfant. Un premier chapitre précise la terminologie de ces troubles, définit clairement ce que sont et ne sont pas les dys-, décrit la démarche générale conduisant à leur diagnostic et rappelle les spécificités du bilan neuropsychologique. Les troubles suivants sont ensuite successivement développés : • Langage oral et dysphasies. • Gestes, fonctions visuospatiales, trouble de l'acquisition de la coordination et dyspraxies. • Mémoires et dysmnésies. • Attention, fonctions exécutives et syndromes dysexécutifs. • Langage écrit et dyslexies-dysorthographies. • Nombre, calcul et dyscalculies. Les auteurs adoptent une stratégie propre à la neuropsychologie : c'est à partir de la description du fonctionnement normal du domaine considéré et des notions développementales qui s'y rattachent que sont abordés les mécanismes pathologiques sous-jacents aux symptômes. Ces processus sous-tendent la description des symptômes et les préconisations thérapeutiques, comprenant les rééducations pertinentes ainsi que les aménagements scolaires à mettre en place. De nombreux exemples de cas cliniques, accompagnés de reproductions d'exercices écrits, de retranscriptions d'entretiens, de tests d'évaluation, ainsi qu'une quinzaine de films accessibles en ligne sur notre site illustrent tous ces mécanismes et confèrent à l'ouvrage un côté pratique et très vivant. Cet ouvrage rassemble, en un volume dense et richement illustré, toute la symptomatologie des troubles cognitifs chez l'enfant, quelle qu'en soit l'origine. Pour chaque pathologie, la description des symptômes et tableaux cliniques donne des outils diagnostiques pratiques et permet d'orienter les choix thérapeutiques et de définir les principaux axes rééducatifs et adaptations pédagogiques.
