{"product_id":"9783319044767","title":"The Myth of Executive Functioning","description":"\u003cp\u003eExecutive functioning: we measure it, assess it, document its development in youth, track its decline in age and use it as a basis for diagnoses, treatment planning and-of course-theories. Could it be possible that science has spent decades chasing a cognitive phantom?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoting the lack of consensus concerning definition, component skills, and location within the brain, \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of Executive Functioning\u003c\/i\u003e calls basic assumptions, prominent theories, commonly used test methods, and even the phrase \u003ci\u003eexecutive\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003efunctioning\u003c\/i\u003e into question. The book's deceptively simple argument takes an evolutionary\/neuroscience look at the cornerstones of cognitive organization, including memory, planning, decision-making and adaptation to novel circumstances. From there, gaps are identified between systems of cognitive control and those behaviors that are evaluated in neuropsychological testing-gaps that contribute to the disconnect between how science views mind and body, brain and behavior. The author's problem-solving metaphor places new emphasis on stimulus processing and on the relationship between movement and thought as he offers thought-provoking perspectives on: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The limits of neuropsychological constructs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe components of adaptive thinking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe automatic aspects of problem solving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe left-brain\/right-brain dichotomy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProblems with the domain approach to cognition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew paradigms for testing cognitive functioning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA controversial presentation with the potential to change clinical practice and training, \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of Executive Functioning\u003c\/i\u003e will be read, debated and learned from by neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, cognitive neuroscientists and rehabilitation specialists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Year: \u003c\/strong\u003e2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint: \u003c\/strong\u003eSpringer International Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFormat: P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWeight (Gram): 2234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leonard F.
