Author Description

This collection of Arthur Benton's major articles spanning fifty years of work, provides an overview of his enormous contribution to neuropsychology. It covers most of the central issues in the field and combines neurological, experimental, and clinical psychometric approaches. Two papers--"Facial Recognition" and "Problems and Conceptual Issues in Neuropsychological Research in Aging and Dementia" (with A.B. Sivan)--are published here for the first time. Because of Benton's belief that solid scientific inquiry is built only upon historical understanding, the papers offer many insights into the history of neuropsychology.
