The chapter on cognitive rehabilitation includes resources and lists suitable songs for use in immediate memory or abstract thinking tasks; among others.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good info. no imagesBy Ellen J. MacWilliamThis book contains a lot of information about various animation pioneers throughout the history of the industry. I have it as a required book for a history of animation class I teach. The only complaint my students make is it needs pictures to go along with the animators and their most acclaimed work.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Who were the researchers and editors of this book???By John W. YocumThis book was a gift and it is a lot of fun. but I have never seen so many editing errors and factual mistakes in my life!! Repeated phrases in the same sentence. and sentences that run on for eight to ten lines in the book with so many commas used that I lose the idea of what the sentence was about in the first place! Then theres the factual errors such as saying that Tex Avery died in the Hanna-Barbera parking lot when he actually was found there by Hanna and taken to the hospital and died weeks later from cancer. or that Maurice Noble returned to Warners Chuck Jones unit in 1951 and helped to create the layouts for a cartoon that was released in 1948! Then theres the comment that the Francis the Talking Mule films were made by United International Pictures when it was UNIVERSAL International Pictures! I like the book. but I think Im having more fun reading to find mistakes than anything else.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
