| Abstract: | Reviews the book, Handbook of functional neuroimaging of cognition by Roberto Cabeza and Alan Kingstone. In fairness to the contributors of this excellent volume, much of the contents deals with sober reflection on the difficulties and uncertainties of interpreting the neuroimaging data in a variety of domains such as attention, vision, semantic and episodic memory, language, and working memory. In general, the authors of this volume present a fair, sophisticated, and valuable overview of the progress (or lack thereof) that functional imaging has contributed in a variety of different domains. This book provides a sense of a field that is undergoing rapid development and that clearly will have much to offer in the future. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
