ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book describes that a principle was quite successful in enhancing the memory performance in the patients compared to errorful (EF) learning. Granted, learning under errorless (EL) conditions did not restore memory to normal levels. It considers the wider uptake of EL principles across an extensive range of neurological conditions, advances in EL learning methodology, and the challenges in generalizing learning under EL conditions across different contexts. In line with developments in the wider neuropsychological domain is the inclusion of neuroimaging to better understand the mechanisms that might support memory performance under EL conditions. The book presents the use of EL principles in children with acquired brain injury (ABI), adults with ABI, and older adults with dementia, but also in the treatment of communication disorders, in neuropsychiatric conditions and in healthy older adults.
