Summary:

Among the changes from the 1994 first edition are further integration in research that combines behavioral, imaging, cellular, and genetic methods; improvements in imaging the developing brain; new applications of attentional theory to psychopathology; and proposed interventions to improve poor attention and normal aging. Neurological and mental health researchers cover cognitive science, imaging, neuroscience, development, and deficits and interventions. Readers are presumed to be researchers or practitioners.
