Q

What activities/techniques are most frequently used to rehabilitate nonspatial attention?

A

Episodic memory

19
Q

True or false?

Given sufficient attention, organization, repetition, and time, episodic skills can be proceduralized and practiced to the point of near automaticity?

A

True

20
Q

What type of memory is described below:

  • Facts, dates, majority of institutionally conveyed education
  • Information acquired over a lifetime of interacting with ones environment and it is not associated with a particular time or place
  • Older adults typically perform as well as younger adults on tasks testing this type of memory
A

Semantic memory

21
Q

What is semantic memory?

A
  • Facts, dates, majority of institutionally conveyed education
22
Q

What type of memory is described below:

  • Acquisition of skills and other aspects of knowledge that are not directly accessible to consciousness.
  • Can be demonstrated indirectly by actions
  • Minimally affected by the passage of time
A

Procedural memory

23
Q

Describe procedural memory

A
  • Acquisition of skills and other aspects of knowledge that are not directly accessible to consciousness.
  • Can be demonstrated indirectly by actions
  • Minimally affected by the passage of time
24
Q

What type of memory is described below:

  • Store of acquired patterns of behavior not necessarily mediated by cognitive learning
  • Not available to introspection
  • Information accessed through performance
A

Nondeclairative memory

25
Q

Describe nondeclarative memory

A
  • Store of acquired patterns of behavior not necessarily mediated by cognitive learning
  • Not available to introspection
  • Information accessed through performance
26
Q

What type of memory is described below:

  • Derives from a range of cognitive functions including forming an intention, remembering that a task needs to be performed, maintaining and periodically monitoring that intention, interrupting outgoing activity, initiating the action to complete the intention
  • Involves both memory and EF
A

Prospective memory

27
Q

Describe prospective memory

A
  • Derives from a range of cognitive functions including forming an intention, remembering that a task needs to be performed, maintaining and periodically monitoring that intention, interrupting outgoing activity, initiating the action to complete the intention
  • Involves both memory and EF
28
Q

At what age are memory lapses frequent?

A

60

29
Q

What is the umbrella term for multiple higher order thinking processes?

A

Executive function

30
Q

What type of assessments are best used to identify EF deficits?

A
  • top down assessments that require the person to establish goals and determine a course of action
  • novel and dynamic test conditions similar to those found in real world
31
Q

What is the CO-OP?

A

Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance

  • Guided discovery, global strategy training focusing on a goal plan do check sequence
  • Goal of clients developing their own domain specific strategies to solve specific performance problems
32
Q

Name the percent of clients affected by unilateral neglect with acute right hemispheric stroke vs left hemispheric stroke

A
  • R: 80%

- L: 15-20%

33
Q

Describe top down intervention with unilateral neglect.

A
  • Encourages conscious awareness of the disability and explicitly trains patients to reorient toward the habitually neglected hemispace using compensatory strategies
34
Q

Describe the bottom up approach for unilateral neglect intervention

A
  • Directed at the impairment but do not require awareness or consciously driven behavioral change
  • Consists of massively stimulating the patient with information originating in the habitually neglected hemispace
35
Q

Describe intervention and evidence with unilateral neglect

A
  • Mixed results: Prism adaptation
  • Insufficient evidence: Mirror therapy for occupational performance
