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. Anomia offers the 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 astudy 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.
- Devoted entirely to naming and its disorders
- Includes up-to-date descriptions of advances in cognitive analysis
- Contains approaches from both clinical and theoretical viewpoints
- Brings together the top researchers from the U.S., England, and Italy
Academics, clinical professionals, and graduate students in neuropsychology, speech, language, and communication disorders, cognitive science, and gerontology
