17% Neurocognitive Issues (EBIG chapters 10, 11, and 22) Flashcards
Types of injuries and correlating
cognitive impairments
Damage to the attention network of brain will affect attention and memory functions.
(Ex of cog impairments: attention, memory, problem solving, decision making.)
Hierarchical approach to cognitive rehabilitation
Hierarchical approach is organized by difficulty. Mastering easier tasks and progressing to selective alternating and divided attention.
Compensatory approach to rehabilitation
Focuses on the development of strategies to accommodate limitations. (ex: planers, checklists, smart phones)
Coma and coma-emergent management
Often the safest and most efficient
technique for dealing with this type
of agitation in a behavior-based
manner is through environmental
management
Factors influencing behavior and deficits
Site and severity of damage
Pre-injury
Intelligence/learning style
Current environment
Types of behavioral assessments
Indirect, direct, and functional assessments
Principles of behavior analysis
The envionment, the individual, and the target behavior
Intermittent schedule of reinforcement
a particular response SOMETIMES produces a reinforcer.
What is positive reinforcement?
ADDITION of stimulus. INCREASES likelihood response will occur again
What is positive punishment?
ADDITION of stimulus. DECREASES the likelihood that the response will occur again
(ex. gets a $200 speeding ticket, doesn’t speed anymore)
What is negative reinforcement?
REMOVAL of stimulus. INCREASES the likelihood that the response will occur again
(ex. cleaning room to avoid being yelled at by parents, more likely to do it everytime)
What is negative punishment?
REMOVAL of the stimulus. DECREASES the likelihood that the response will occur again.
(ex. siblings fight over toy parent takes away toy, siblings less likely to fight over toy)
What is the stability triangle?
Provides a guiding philosophy for the development of a comprehensive treatment plan.
What are the three primary areas of the stability triangle?
Establish Medical Stability
Promote Stable Behavior
Develop Stable Activity Plan
Operational definition
(Hint: S M A R T goals)
Behavior that is observable, measurable, and specific
