Description
Cognitive Communication Disorders, 4th Edition is an essential resource for graduate students and professionals in speech-language pathology studying cognitively based communication disorders. The textbook provides a comprehensive examination of the cognitive foundations underlying communication, with particular attention to attention, memory, and executive function.
The book connects cognitive theory with clinical practice, explaining how impairments in core cognitive abilities can affect communication in individuals with right hemisphere brain damage, dementia, primary progressive aphasia, concussion, and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Through detailed clinical information, case studies, figures, and tables, students learn how cognitive communication deficits can present in different populations and how clinicians approach assessment, differential diagnosis, and treatment. The fourth edition strengthens its evidence-based foundation with updated and expanded information on assessment and intervention.
New content includes a chapter addressing working with underserved populations, updated case studies with greater attention to underserved clinical populations, and learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter. A glossary provides convenient definitions of key terminology, supporting students as they master complex concepts.
The book also includes online ancillary resources for instructors and students, including PowerPoint slides, a test bank, sample syllabus, and recommended readings and websites.
