Overview
This volume integrates advances in neurobiology, neuropsychology, measurement science, cognitive science, and traditional educational psychology to explore the contributions each field can make towards understanding individual differences in cognitive assessment. It is extremely well illustrated, and covers everything from modeling to cortical variations. Professionals in all fields will be able to strengthen their theoretical paradigms and applied techniques with knowledge from outside their immediate discipline.

The outgrowth of a conference held at Texas A&M U. in October 1991, this volume brings together psychometricians and statisticians, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists to focus on the common theme of individual differences. Each reviews advances in his or her own work that have clear implications for the understanding of individual differences--from defining and partitioning variance components to modeling individual differences to structural and functional cortical variations that produce individual differences.
