Cognition, Intelligence, and Achievement - A Tribute to J.P. Das (Relié)

Cognition, Intelligence, and Achievement is motivated by the work of J. P. Das on understanding the relationships between cognition and intelligence and their effects on school achievement, and especially on the PASS (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous and Successive Processing) theory of intelligence and CAS measures (Cognitive Assessment System) of cognitive processes. This book reviews current research using PASS and other frameworks in understanding the relationships among cognition, intelligence, and achievement.
The assessment and diagnosis of learning disabilities, developmental disabilities, and ADHD are addressed, and the interrelationships among cognition, culture, neuropsychology, academic achievement, instruction, and remediation are examined. No other book has presented such an integrated view across these domains, from such a diverse array of internationally known and respected experts from psychology, education, and neuroscience.
Academics, researchers, and clinicians who specialize in developmental psychology, educational psychology or clinicians dealing with learning disabilities will find this book very useful for teaching and research purposes.
