Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Klinisk neuropsykologi är en grundbok om sambandet mellan beteende och hjärnans funktioner. Denna tredje reviderade och utökade upplaga innehåller ett flertal nyskrivna och helt nytillkomna kapitel, såsom Läkemedel och kognition, Digital testning, Symptom- och prestationsvaliditet samt ett kapitel om hjärntrötthet, Kognitiv fatigue. Del I inleds med Teorier och modeller för de viktigaste funktionsområdena, som uppmärksamhet, emotioner, språk, minne, spatial förmåga och exekutiva funktioner. I del II beskrivs Utredning och diagnostik. Här finns anvisningar för undersökning och bedömning med såväl traditionella som digitala psykologiska test samt ett nytt kapitel om den kliniska användningen av tekniker för att avbilda hjärnans struktur och funktion. I det nyskrivna kapitlet om Lurias teori och bedömningsmetod kopplas dessa till modern neurovetenskap. Del III, Skador och störningar, beskriver de kognitiva följderna av de vanligaste somatiska tillstånden, medan del IV ägnas åt Neuropsykiatriska tillstånd. Här finns ett helt nytt kapitel om Utvecklingsrelaterade funktionsnedsättningar. Del V, Behandling och åtgärder, är betydligt utökad, och innehåller ett kapitel där utvecklingen och evidensläget inom Kognitiv rehabilitering beskrivs. Klinisk neuropsykologi vänder sig till alla som behöver kunskaper om hjärnan och beteendet; främst blivande psykologer, studenter och yrkesverksamma inom hälso- och sjukvård, skola och i olika typer av omsorgsverksamhet.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this article is to follow the development of the Swedish gender earnings gap through the 1980s and 1990s. We follow the changes in the wage gap and in factors to which it can be related year-by-year by analysing crosssectional data from Statistics Sweden (HEK) for the years 1981 and 1983–98. The results show that the unadjusted wage gap varied between 12 and 15 per cent of the average male wage up to 1989, when the differentials began to increase. During the 1990s the size of the gap was around 14–18 per cent. In a decomposition analysis we find that the measured differences in jobs and qualifications between women and men can account only for between two-fifths and three-fifths of the gender wage gap, if they are assumed to be rewarded according to the male wage function. If the female wage function is applied, even less of the differentials are explained. Differences in the educational requirements for jobs have contributed considerably to gender earnings inequality. The impact has decreased over the period studied, however, and is about half as large in the 1990s as it was in the 1980s.

Dyslexia: Relevance of Concepts, Validity of Measurements, and Cognitive Functions
- 2004
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The thesis opens with an exposition of different uses of the term dyslexia. In that context its conceptual relevance is discussed. The empirical studies investigate a) different aspects of validity of cognitive and achievement instruments often used in diagnostic assessment of dyslexia, b) different cognitive profiles for adults with dyslexia, and c) the relationship between cognitive and achievement measures.Study I demonstrated the factor structure of the Swedish WAIS-R to be in close agreement with results of comparable analyses on normal and clinical groups in many countries world-wide, giving strong support for the construct validity of the Swedish WAIS-R for a group of adults diagnosed with dyslexia. The results from the three-factor solution were interpreted in terms of theoretical constructs, notably those posited by Carroll (1993) and Horn (1989).The cognitive profiles of a sample of Swedish adults diagnosed with dyslexia—when using the three factors, the ACID profile, and the four-category Bannatyne profile—all resemble closely the profiles observed for a wide array of U.S. samples of children and adults diagnosed with dyslexia or learning disabilities. Gender differences on Digit Symbol, favoring females, were substantial in magnitude for the present sample, consistent with a bulk of research on gender differences for samples of normal individuals and of those identified with learning problems.In Study II, factor analysis of nine Swedish achievement tests often used for dyslexia assessment yielded five meaningful factors in a group of adults diagnosed with dyslexia. Factors appeared to measure decoding, visual speed, reading comprehension, reading fluency, and phonological ability. The relationship between the five achievement factors and WAIS-R variables was subsequently examined. The Visual Speed and Reading Comprehension factors each correlated significantly with four of six global WAIS-R scores (two of three IQs and two of three factor scores). Visual Speed tended to correlate significantly with nonverbal scores and Reading Comprehension with verbal scores. Although the Phonological Ability factor did not correlate significantly with any verbal or nonverbal global score, it did correlate significantly with the Freedom from Distractibility factor and with all its component subtests—Digit Span, Arithmetic, and Digit Symbol. Decoding (technical reading skill) showed no significant relationship to any WAIS-R variable studied. More surprisingly, the Reading Fluency factor failed to show significant relationships to the WAIS-R.Study III examined the validity of The Word Chain Test, a frequently used instrument in Swedish screening and diagnostic assessments of dyslexia. Different sources of validity evidence were evaluated. In summary, the results failed to support validity both for the WRI-index and the Wordchain subtest, suggesting that the instrument seems to be of questionable value in screening or diagnostic assessment of dyslexia.

Wage differentials and gender discrimination ' changes in Sweden 1981-1998'
- 2001
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this paper is to follow the development of the Swedish gender earnings gap through the 1980s and 1990s. We follow the changes in the wage gap and in factors to which it can be related, step-by-step, and year-by- year. This is done by analysing cross sectional data from statistics Sweden (HINK) for the years 1981, 1983-1991 and 1993-1998. The preliminary results show that the unadjusted wage gap varied between 15-20 percent up to 1989 when the differentials began to increase. During the 90s the size of the gap was around 25 percent. There is an increase in the wage differentials between the 1980s and late 1990s. In a decomposition analysis we find that the measured differences in jobs and qualifications between women and men can account only for between two and three fifths of the gender wage gap, if they are assumed to be rewarded according to the wage function for men. If the female wage function is applied, considerably less of the differentials are explained. Differences in the educational requirements for jobs have contributed considerably to gender earnings inequality. The impact has, however, decreased over the period studied and is about half as large in the 1990s as it was in the 1980s.
