| Summary |
"Divided into six sections - communication and language, memory and recall, social cognition, social learning and teaching, numerical and quantative abilities, and innovation and problem solving the Handbook allows readers to focus specifically on what they are interested in. Concise overviews in each section provide the history and basic concepts in each area, and are helpful for both newcomers to the field or specialists seeking to gain background in different areas. Each overview is followed by three to six entries for readers who are interested in learning more about a particular subject"-- Provided by publisher |
