Features: Recommended by the Chinese Psychological Society as a teaching material · Original English edition. Different types of books serve different functions. Some books are primarily intended to help people understand the content of a particular discipline, which are introductory and popular books; some are in-depth studies of a specific topic, known as professional books; some provide a wealth of resources, known as resource books. Lexak's book combines all three functions—it is both popular and professional, and can be used as a resource for preservation and as a tool for on-the-job use. — Professor YIWEN GANG, Ph.D. in Neuropsychology from University College London (UCL), Researcher at the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Supervisor of Doctoral Students. This highly acclaimed work is known as the "Bible of Neuropsychology," covering a comprehensive and broad range of topics, including tests on memory, language abilities, conceptual formation, brain injury, executive functions, and more. It is well-organized, with clear and accessible language that non-neuropsychologists can fully understand and use. The author provides extensive references and up-to-date information on various tools and their applications in neuropsychology. It is not only an indispensable practical resource for neuropsychologists and students in the field but also greatly helps clinical treatment specialists and patients in enhancing their understanding of brain function and behavior. The first eight chapters introduce the principles and practical knowledge of patient-oriented neuropsychological assessment, while the last twelve chapters discuss and evaluate almost all existing test techniques, with an additional 7,000+ references added compared to the previous edition.
