First published in 1986, Language Processing in Children and Adults provides a broad perspective on psychological research into language processing. The book has two main sections. The first deals with language processing in children and describes the processes involved in learning to produce and understand spoken language and the processes involved in learning to read. This section also includes a chapter on development disorders of spoken and written language. The second section deals with adult language processing and has chapters on single word perception, on the comprehension and production of language, and on acquired disorders of language.
Previous knowledge of the area is not required as all the basic concepts are explained as they are introduced and the use of technical jargon has been kept to a minimum.
Elegantly and engagingly written, the book is unique in adopting such a wide coverage which considers the acquisition and skilled adult use of both spoken and written language, as well as developmental and acquired disorders of language.
Margaret Harris is Emeritus Professor of Psychology in the School of Psychology, Social Work and Public Health, Oxford Brookes University, UK. Her main interests are in the development of written and spoken language, and she has published widely in this area. Much of her research in the past two decades has focused on the language development of deaf children, especially the dynamics of deaf and hearing mothers’ communication with their deaf children and literacy attainment in deaf school children and young people. Max Colheart is Emeritus Professor in the School of Psychological Sciences, Macquarie University, Australia. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, and the British Academy. He is currently working on the cognitive neuropsychology and computational psychology of reading and on several topics in cognitive neuropsychiatry, especially delusional belief.
