"""As a child we often heard our parents and teachers say ‘You need to learn from your mistakes’, but for those who are unable to apply this saying, the development of errorless learning techniques has been crucial. This book presents the technique of errorless learning in a very comprehensive way, offering valuable theoretical as well as practical information for professionals and researchers in the field of neuro-rehabilitation. Experts discuss the application of errorless learning in many different patient groups, incorporating error-based approaches as well. With this scholarly and practical synthesis of information, the book offers ‘all you need to know about errorless-learning’ and more."" Caroline M. van Heugten, Professor of Clinical Neuropsychology, Maastricht University, the Netherlands ""For the neurologically compromised individual with cognitive impairment, traditional approaches to learning and training were mostly unsuccessful, while frustration often led professionals to avoid trying something new. Although animal research showed that errorless learning could be applied successfully to typically developed, healthy humans, the idea that errorless learning could be a beneficial rehabilitation strategy in the neurologically impaired patient, including those with neurodegenerative disease, was thought impossible. Catherine Haslam and Roy Kessels, who have lead the field over the past decade and a half, provide the most up-to-date information on the topic, from basic research to clinical application."" Erin D.
