Abstract: Originally published in 1987, this book, attempted to bring together work by researchers concerned with the functional and neurological mechanisms underlying visual object processing, and the ways in which such mechanisms can be neurologically impaired. The editors termed it a 'Cognitive Neuropsychological'approach, because they believed it tried to relate evidence from neurological impairments of visual object processing to models of normal performance in a new and important way. Two broad aims are apparent. One is to test models of normal performance by evaluating how well the models account for the patterns of impairment and preservation of abilities that can occur following brain damage. The other is to use models of normal performance to further their understanding of acquired disorders of visual object processing. These aims distinguish the approach from neuropsychological work whose primary aim is to relate acquired deficits to the sites of damage, and from work in the field of cognitive psychology which attempts only to develop models of normal performance.Abstract: Publicado originalmente en 1987, este libro intentó reunir el trabajo de investigadores preocupados por los mecanismos funcionales y neurológicos subyacentes al procesamiento de objetos visuales y las formas en que dichos mecanismos pueden verse afectados neurológicamente. Los editores lo denominaron un enfoque 'neuropsicológico cognitivo', porque creían que intentaba relacionar la evidencia de las deficiencias neurológicas del procesamiento de objetos visuales con modelos de desempeño normal de una manera nueva e importante. Son evidentes dos objetivos generales. Una es probar modelos de desempeño normal evaluando qué tan bien los modelos dan cuenta de los patrones de deterioro y preservación de habilidades que pueden ocurrir después de un daño cerebral. La otra es utilizar modelos de rendimiento normal para ampliar su comprensión de los trastornos adquiridos del procesamiento de objetos visuales. Estos objetivos distinguen el enfoque del trabajo neuropsicológico cuyo objetivo principal es relacionar los déficits adquiridos con los sitios de daño, y del trabajo en el campo de la psicología cognitiva que intenta solo desarrollar modelos de desempeño normal.
