"The fourth edition of Cognitive Communication Disorders maintains its standing as an important resource for graduate level courses that cover cognitively based communication disorders as well as clinicians working with individuals with these challenging clinical profiles. The text provides vital information on the cognitive foundations of communication (attention, memory, and executive function). The text then presents a comprehensive theoretical and applied review of how deficits in these core cognitive abilities manifest in right hemisphere brain damage, dementia, primary progressive aphasia, concussion, and traumatic brain injury"-- Provided by publisher.
