The Routledge International Handbook of Psycholinguistic and Cognitive Processes, 2nd Edition (PDF)

By Jackie Guendouzi, Filip Loncke, Mandy J. Williams

This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of the theories concerning cognition and language processing that are relevant to the communication disorders field. In its second edition, fully updated, this book explores a variety of topics and issues that illustrate the importance of a dynamic interaction between theoretical and applied clinical work.

Starting with the genesis of language evolution, the authors delve into a broad range of both developmental and acquired communication disorders, reflecting the variety and complexity of psycholinguistics and its role in extending our knowledge of communication disorders. The first section outlines major theoretical approaches from psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience that have heavily influenced research focusing on clinical populations, while Section II features examples from researchers who have applied this knowledge to developmental communication disorders. Section III features examples that focus on acquired language disorders, and finally, Section IV examines psycholinguistic approaches to gesture, sign language, and alternative and augmentative communication (AAC). The new edition includes new chapters offering alternative perspectives, further reading recommendations, and a new epilogue from Jackie Guendouzi.

This informative text is an excellent single interdisciplinary resource for cognitive neurosciences graduate and upper-level undergraduate students, psychology students, communication sciences and disorders students, as well as researchers new to the field of communication disorders or to psycholinguistic theory.
