Attention Development, and Psychopathology

Shedding light on the important interplay among attention, development, and psychopathology, this volume is the first to bring together the research in these disciplines. Chapters cover the entire lifespan and examine a wide range of different pathologies, integrating what is known about the normal development of attention and the effects of impaired attention in various atypical groups. This book will be of value to practitioners, researchers, and students of clinical psychology, developmental psychopathology, cognitive psychology, psychiatry, and other mental health fields.

"By bringing together the many strands of attention and information processing research into one comprehensive volume, editors Burack and Enns have provided us with the most current knowledge available across several subdisciplines. The authors brought together here, by applying a developmental approach both to typical and atypical modes of attention, perform an invaluable service in permitting researchers access to a common body of knowledge in developing an integrated theory of attentional processes." --Edward Zigler, PhD, Sterling Professor of Psychology, Yale University "Attention, Development, and Psychopathology provides a remarkable survey of the regulation of attention throughout the life course and the many disorders in which attentional problems play a key role. Attentional mechanisms reflect the interaction of biological substrate and varied types of experiences. The volume offers a panoramic view of the new cognitive and biological research on this fundamental proces
