Anomia : Neuroanatomical and Cognitive Correlates

Anomia: neuroanatomical and cognitive correlates/ edited by Harold Goodglass and Arthur Wingfield, 1997 Anomia is the inability to access spoken names for objects, most often associated with the elderly or those with brain damage to the left hemisphere. This book offers a state-of-the-art review of disorders of naming, written by acknowledged experts from around the world, approached from both clinical and theoretical viewpoints. Goodglass, known around the world for his research in aphasia and speech pathology, edits this first book devoted exclusively to naming and its disorders. Wingfield is known for his classic studies of lexical processing in aphasic and normal speakers. The book includes comprehensive literature reviews, a summary of relevant research data, as well as a study of recent advances in cognitive analysis and anatomic findings. Anomia is an immensely useful work for all those involved in the study of language, particularly those in cognitive neuroscience, neurology, speech pathology, and linguistics.https://digitalcommons.rockefeller.edu/jason-brown-library/1084/thumbnail.jp
