People sometimes remember events that never happened. These illusory or false memories have important practical implications in various aspects of everyday life, and also have significant theoretical implications for cognitive and neuropsychological models of memory. Cognitive psychologists and ...
Computational Modelling: A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology
1st Edition
Edited
By Gary S. Dell, Alfonso Caramazza
February 04, 2019
The papers in the special issue describe computational models and principles that attempt to explain the performance of brain damaged subjects. The models elucidate the cognitive processes that underlie speaking, reading, spelling, and visuospatial planning by implementing hypothesized mechanisms ...
The Multiple Functions of Sensory-Motor Representations: A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology
1st Edition
Edited
By Raffaella. I. Rumiati, ALFONSO CARAMAZZA
February 04, 2019
The papers in this volume consider the role of sensory-motor processes and their neural structures in higher cognitive functions such as visual and motor imagery, iconic memory and temporal judgment. The evidence brought to bear on this issue comes from behavioral studies of brain-damaged subjects ...

The Cognitive Neuroscience of Face Processing: A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology
1st Edition
By Nancy Kanwisher, Morris Moscovitch
May 21, 2015
For social primates like us, faces may be the most biologically significant stimuli we view. Faces provide information not only about identity but also about mood, age, sex, and direction of overt attention. Does our ability to extract this information from faces rely on special-purpose cognitive ...
The Specialization of Function: Cognitive and Neural Perspectives on Modularity: A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology
1st Edition
Edited
By Bradford Mahon, Jessica Cantlon
January 06, 2012
Functional specialization is a property of biological systems generally. A unifying theme that cuts across all research areas and techniques in the cognitive and brain sciences is whether there is specialization of function at levels of processing that are ‘abstracted away’ from sensory inputs and ...
