Recenzii
Although the book is organized as a conventional textbook, Coolidge interjects digressions throughout the text that lend an organic feel to the reading experience. [This book] serves as a review of the current state of the art and the history of thinking about many fascinating topics considered to belong within the domain of neuroscience, including learning and memory, the evolution of language, the function of sleep and dreaming, and the potential benefits of psychiatric illness. It is especially recommended to anyone interested in learning how evolutionary thinking can be used to gain clarity in the often bewildering study of human behavior.
Anyone who is curious about the evolutionary roots of the human brain and cognition will relish this book, including professionals and students. The text offers a spirited and accessible deep dive into the origins of memory, classical conditioning, integration and contrast of primate cognition to early human cognition through current neuropsychology and neuroscience literature. Coolidge has a knack for anticipating, raising, and answering unforeseen questions. Readers will better understand neuropsychology through the presented controversies, historical perspectives, and case histories. This text answers many questions and will begin new, exciting conversations."
Coolidge delves so deeply into the evolution of the human brain that he touches the physical stuff of the universe and the principles of life itself. In clear, succinct, and highly digestible prose, he offers a solid overview of evolutionary neuropsychology while challenging long-standing assumptions about functions like learning and sleep, structures like the parietal lobe and cerebellum, and pathologies like personality disorders. A must-read for scholars and students alike."
This is a fascinating and provocative book about the evolution of the human brain. Dr. Coolidge deftly weaves together evolution, psychology, and neuroscience in this thought-provoking work that is sure to educate and entertain. It is full of novel hypotheses, interesting new ideas, and stimulating discussion. I recommend it to laypeople and scientists alike."
Written with impressive erudition, clarity of thought and fluency of language, Fred Coolidge's Evolutionary Neuropsychology offers an authoritative account of the evolutionary origins of the brain's structures and their specialized functions. Packed with pertinent information, yet highly readable, this book is bound to become a classic introduction to a field that appears bewilderingly complex to the newcomer."
