      Au sein des « dys- », les dyspraxies sont des troubles du développement gestuel et/ou visuo-spatial dont les répercussions sociales et scolaires peuvent être sévères, envahissant le quotidien et compromettant l’avenir. Ces pathologies ont en effet de graves conséquences sur l’ensemble des apprentissages.L’ouv... par des cliniciennes dont la pratique auprès de jeunes dyspraxiques s’inscrit dans l’indispensable interaction quotidienne entre rééducation et école, cet ouvrage vise à fournir des clés pour comprendre les ressorts cachés de ces échecs scolaires, afin de mieux les prévenir ou tout au moins les pallier. C’est pourquoi sont abordés ici à la fois les stratégies de remédiation (dévolues aux rééducateurs) et les aménagements qui, dans le même temps, doivent prendre place en classe, en partenariat avec les enseignants. Comportant de nombreux exemples qui illustrent les difficultés rencontrées tous les jours par ces enfants, ce livre constitue un ensemble cohérent de propositions pratiques et concrètes visant à rétablir les chances de réussite scolaire et d’épanouissement du jeune dyspraxique.Cet ouvrage permet non seulement de comprendre la spécificité des processus en jeu dans les apprentissages du jeune dyspraxique (gestuels, scolaires ou rééducatifs), mais il constitue un outil de terrain précieux pour assurer la réussite scolaire et l’épanouissement du jeune dyspraxique. Les auteures précisent les conditions d’un véritable projet thérapeutique global, avant d’aborder les différents aspects des accompagnements dans les apprentissages : écrire, e-écrire, compter, lire. Puis un chapitre de synthèse offre une méthode générale d’analyse des supports scolaires, spécifiquement dans les aspects qui croisent et sollicitent le handicap de l’élève. Enfin, sont abordées les difficultés liées à la vie quotidienne (repas, habillage, sports et loisirs) et leurs répercussions sur l’estime de soi. Cette nouvelle édition propose une révision de l’ensemble des données et une refonte complète des chapitres dédiés aux supports pédagogiques et à l’informatique qui ont considérablement évolué.

      Mechanisms of Sensory Working Memory: Attention and Performance XXV provides an update on research surrounding the memory processes that are crucial for many facets of cognitive processing and experience, with new coverage of emerging areas of study, including a new understanding of working memory for features of stimuli devoid of verbal, phonological, or long-term memory content, such as memory for simple visual features (e.g., texture or color), simple auditory features (e.g., pitch), or simple tactile features (e.g., vibration frequency), now called sensory memory to distinguish from verbal memory. This contemporary focus on sensory memory is just beginning, and this collection of original contributions provides a foundational reference for the study mechanisms of sensory memory. Students, scholars, and researchers studying memory mechanisms and processes in cognitive neuroscience, cognitive science, neuroscience, and psychology will find this book of great value to their work.

      This foundational work comprehensively examines the current state of the genetics, genomics and brain circuitry of psychiatric and neurological disorders. It consolidates discoveries of specific genes and genomic regions associated with these conditions, the genetic and anatomic architecture of these syndromes, and addresses how recent advances in genomics are leading to a reappraisal of the biology underlying clinical neuroscience. In doing so, it critically examines the promise and limitations of these discoveries toward treatment, and to the interdisciplinary nature of understanding brain and behavior. Coverage includes new discoveries regarding autism, epilepsy, intellectual disability, dementias, movement disorders, language impairment, disorders of attention, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Genomics, Circuits, and Pathways in Clinical Neuropsychiatry focuses on key concepts, challenges, findings, and methods in genetics, genomics, molecular pathways, brain circuitry, and related neurobiology of neurologic and psychiatric disorders.

      Continuous Issues in Numerical Cognition: How Many or How Much re-examines the widely accepted view that there exists a core numerical system within human beings and an innate ability to perceive and count discrete quantities. This core knowledge involves the brain’s intraparietal sulcus, and a deficiency in this region has traditionally been thought to be the basis for arithmetic disability. However, new research findings suggest this wide agreement needs to be examined carefully and that perception of sizes and other non-countable amounts may be the true precursors of numerical ability. This cutting-edge book examines the possibility that perception and evaluation of non-countable dimensions may be involved in the development of numerical cognition. Discussions of the above and related issues are important for the achievement of a comprehensive understanding of numerical cognition, its brain basis, development, breakdown in brain-injured individuals, and failures to master mathematical skills.
