22
Q

temporal classification –> memory

A

immediate –> within minutes

short term –> minutes to hours

long term –> days, months, years

23
Q

declarative memory

A

explicit

24
Q

types of declarative memory

A

episodic

semantic

25
Q

episodic

A

experiences specific to a context

time or place

26
Q

semantic

A

fact-based

knowledge

independent of context

27
Q

location of declarative memory

A

medial temporal lobe

hippocampus

amygdala

thalamus

prefrontal cortex

28
Q

memory centers declarative memory

A

very close together

easy to destroy these memory centers with a single dz

29
Q

procedural memory

A

implicit, automatic, skill acquisition

30
Q

examples of procedural memory

A

riding a bike

playing the piano

getting out of bed

walking

dressing

etc.

31
Q

what does procedural memory do

A

increase many of the fxnal activities we could do in rehab

32
Q

location of procedural memory

A

basal ganglia

cerebellum

primary motor cortex

premotor cortex

supplemental motor areas )SMA)

33
Q

can the procedural memory centers be wiped out by a single dz

A

no

spread out enough

34
Q

anterograde memory

A

from time of injury forward (future)

35
Q

anterograde amnesia

A

loss or disturbance of memory for events that occur after an event

inability to remember events that occur after the brain injury

36
Q

retrograde memory

A

from time of injury backwards

past

37
Q

retrograde amnesia

A

loss or disturbance of memory for events that occurred before and event

inability to remember events that occurred before the brain injury

38
Q

post-traumatic amnesia

A

inability to form consistent day-to-day memories

39
Q

“eternal now”

A

many range from minutes to hours

40
Q

when is a person determined to be “out of PTA”

A

when they can give a clear, accurate and ordered account of what is happening around them

&

can maintain episodic memory from day to day

41
Q

what does PTA also measure

A

severity of TBI

42
Q

longer duration of PTA correlates w/

A

longer period to recovery

43
Q

what may PTA not be reliable for

A

outcomes d/t factors influencing accurate measure of PTA

44
Q

PTA <5 min

A

very mild

45
Q

PTA 5-60 min

A

mild

46
Q

PTA 1-24 hrs

A

moderate

47
Q

PTA 1-7 days

A

severe

48
Q

PTA 1-4 weeks

A

very severe

49
Q

PTA >4 wks

A

extremely severe

50
Q

duration of PTA correlates well w/

A

GCS score

51
Q

how long does PTA occur

A

4 times longer than length of unconsciousness

52
Q

mild

A

GCS 13-15

PTA <1 hr

LOC <30 min

53
Q

moderate

A

GCS 9-12

PTA 30 min-24 hrs

LOC 1-24 hrs

54
Q

severe

A

GCS 3-8

PTA >1 day

LOC >24 hrs
