Answer 10

Standardized assessments for evaluation of the visual functions important in ensuring that visual perceptual processing is accurately completed:
visual acuity (distant and reading)
contrast sensitivity function
visual field
oculomotor function
visual attention and scanning

Question 11

• A 6 level scale screening tool to estimate an individual’s cognitive level - for populations w/ psychiatric disorders, ABI, or dementia
• Person performs three leather lacing stitches progressing in complexity

Answer 11

Allen Cognitive Level Test

Question 12

• Structured observation of BADL and mobility skills are performed to detect underlying neurobehavioral dysfunction
• System of error analysis is utilized to document the underlying performance components (neglect, spatial dysfunction, body scheme disorder, apraxia)
• Functional Independence scale with 0 = unable to perform to 4 - independent
• Neurobehavioral specific impairment Scale with 0 = no neurobehavioral impairment is observed to 4 = unable to perform secondary to neurobehavioral dysfunction

Answer 12

Arnadottir Occupational Therapy Neurobehavioral evaluation (A-ONE)

Question 13

• A test of occupational performance that is appropriate for those living with variety of impairments including cognitive and perceptual impairments to persons 3 y/o +
• Examines person’s functional competence in two or three familiar and chosen BADL or IADL tasks
• Therapist observes and documents motor and process skills that interfere w/ task performance
• 16 motor and 20 process skills are scored for each task
• Skills are scored 1 = deficit ro 4 = competent

Answer 13

Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS)

Question 14

• Used with adults with unilateral neglect to examines presence of neglect and its impact on functional task performance
• Include 9 activity-based subsets (i.e., picture scanning, menu reading, map navigation, address and sentence skyping, card sorting, and telling/setting the time)
• Include 6 pen/paper subtest (i.e., line crossing, star cancellation, letter cancellation, figure and shape copying and line bisection)

Answer 14

Behavioral Inattention Test

Question 15

Catherine Bergego Scale

Answer 15

• Standardized checklist to detect presence and degree of unilateral neglect during observation of everyday life situations, as well as measure self-awareness and behavioral neglect
• Functional scale consisting of 10 items related to neglect with dressing, washing, eating, communicating, exploratory activities and play)

Question 16

Cognistat Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination

Answer 16

Explores, quantifies, and describe performance in central areas of brain-behavior relations (level of consciousness, orientation, attention, language, constructional ability, memory, calculations, and reasoning)

Question 17

• Standardized performance test that assess executive function deficits during the performance of real-world tasks (cooking oatmeal, making phone calls, managing medications, paying a bill)
• A Structured cueing and scoring system is used to assess (initiation, organization, sequencing judgement, safety, and task completion)
• Score range 7-42 (higher score = greater cueing and more severe EF deficits)

Answer 17

Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT)
