"The second edition of this well-written, practical, sometimes thought-provoking and always easy-to-digest book about everyday functioning is a welcome treat. It covers a breadth of topics, from driving to medication management, cultural issues, sensors, virtual reality, and more. Readers will learn about new tests, new approaches, and new ways of measuring problems encountered in everyday life. Psychologists, occupational therapists, and other professionals engaged in person-centered rehabilitation with different diagnostic groups--including patients with stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and traumatic brain injury--will benefit from this book."--Barbara A. Wilson, OBE, PhD, clinical neuropsychologist, Oliver Zangwill Centre for Neuropsychological Rehabilitation and St. George’s Hospital, United Kingdom

"This updated guide is a 'must-have' for clinical neuropsychologists and other health professionals interested in the complex ways that cognition influences everyday functioning. The book takes an accessible, multidisciplinary approach to communicating important conceptual, methodological, and clinical issues. A particularly compelling feature of the second edition is the integration of new coeditor Schmitter-Edgecombe, who brings expertise in the technological aspects of cognition and functioning."--Steven Paul Woods, PsyD, Professor of Psychology, University of Houston, and Adjunct Professor of Psychological Science, University of Western Australia

"This is a very solid, worthwhile information source for the applied clinician and a useful and accessible text for the neuropsychology trainee. The volume is at the forefront of the integrated field of cognition and everyday functioning, which is especially heartening given the rapidity of change in this field. I am particularly impressed with the up-to-date chapters on naturalistic observations and new, technologically derived methods for ecologically valid assessments. I can easily see myself using this second edition in my graduate cognitive assessment courses as well as in my own neuropsychology practice."--L. Stephen Miller, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Georgia-
