DESCRIPTION:
Executive functioning: we measure it, assess it, document its development in youth, track its decline in age and use it as a basis for diagnoses, treatment planning and-of course-theories. From there, gaps are identified between systems of cognitive control and those behaviors that are evaluated in neuropsychological testing-gaps that contribute to the disconnect between how science views mind and body, brain and behavior. The book's deceptively simple argument takes an evolutionary/neuroscience look at the cornerstones of cognitive organization, including memory, planning, decision-making and adaptation to novel circumstances. The author's problem-solving metaphor places new emphasis on stimulus processing and on the relationship between movement and thought as he offers thought-provoking perspectives on: The limits of neuropsychological constructs.The
"I have come to expect that his publications will provide brilliant ground breaking insights" according to Mark L. Clark. As a former student of Dr. Koziol’s, I have come to expect that his publications will provide brilliant ground breaking insights, present challenges to current thinking and assessment methodologies, and to offer suggestions for improving the practice of clinical neuropsy. Phillip L. Kent said Another groundbreaking book by Koziol. Since "Another groundbreaking book by Koziol" according to Phillip L. Kent. Since 2009, Dr. Leonard Koziol has published a number of very well received books and papers on the vertically organized brain. The Myth of Executive Functioning represents his latest thinking in this area. In this concise and well written book, he builds on his previous books. 009, Dr. Leonard Koziol has published a number of very well received books and papers on the vertically organized brain.

Excellent Text that Reconceptualizes Executive Functioning Arthur Joyce Dr. Koziol is a rare bird in the field of neuropsychology; an expert that can be counted on to provide new ideas grounded in theory and based on a firm grasp of research in neuroscience and related fields. The book is deceptively brief. The ideas contained within it are useful
