ch 10 vision and ch 11 cognition

Question 1

Acuity

Answer 1

How can you help a client compensate?
What can you adapt?

Question 2

Visual fields

Answer 2

What are signs of a visual field deficit?
What compensatory strategies can you teach? How
can you incorporate scanning the visual fields into
ADLs? IADLs? Leisure? Work?

Question 3

Perceptual completion

Answer 3

Sometimes the brain cannot process that there is
a partial vision loss and it will “fill in” the blind spots with what it thinks should be there.

Question 4

Oculomotor control

Answer 4

How does an impairment
affect ADLs? IADLs? Leisure? Work?

Question 5

Diplopia

Answer 5

Treatment involves occlusion of one eye. Partial occlusion (must have glasses)

Question 6

Visual attention

Answer 6

How can you modify a treatment session for a client with impaired visual attention?

Question 7

Visual scanning

Answer 7

How can you facilitate an efficient scanning pattern? How does an inefficient pattern
affect ADLs? IADLs? Work/education? Leisure

Question 8

Pattern recognition—

Answer 8

Think about pattern
recognition and why it is easier to read something
printed than something written in cursive.

Question 9

Visual memory

Answer 9

What are age appropriate (for
adults) activities you could use to help a client practice visual memory?

Question 10

Spatial relations

Answer 10

What are functional tasks you can utilize in treatment of spatial relations deficits?

Question 11

Form discrimination

Answer 11

Think about everyday items
that could be confusing for clients with deficits in
form discrimination. How can you address this?

Question 12

Figure-ground discrimination

Answer 12

how can a deficit
affect ADLs? IADLs? Work? Leisure? What strategies
and adaptation can you teach a client?

Question 13

Visual closure

Answer 13

Compare a paper-pencil activity
with a functional activity to address visual closure

Question 14

Impaired depth perception

Answer 14

An impairment can
affect mobility and ADLs. What compensatory strategies can you teach a client?

Question 15

Agnosia

Answer 15

Agnosia is the inability to recognize or perceive
sensory information which came into the brain

Question 16

Internal Strategies

Answer 16

▪ Visualization: Making a mental picture of information
▪ Verbalization: Repeating information over and over verbally
▪ Chunking: Breaking down information into small chunks

Question 17

Chaining technique:

Answer 17

A tool for breaking down functional tasks into steps, and
then chaining them together one by one as the client
learns each step. Instead of looking at a task as a whole
function, the task is viewed in parts, starting with the first
and progressing to the last as each are learned
successfully.

Question 18

External Strategies

Answer 18

▪ Orientation notebook with autobiographical
orientation page
▪ Memory notebook with daily schedule, memory log,
and a “things to do” section
▪ Electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers,
alarms, and voice recorders
▪ Signs, labels, checklists, and pocket notebooks

Question 19

Errorless learning technique:Spaced retrieval technique:

Answer 19

A tool for presenting important information to a client in a way that eliminates trial and error and guess work. When a client does not learn information correctly, they may think and worry about it. By taking out the “guess work,” the individual is not allowed to make a mistake when learning information.

Question 20

Spaced retrieval technique:

Answer 20

The exact same technique as errorless learning, yet
the client is asked to remember the information for
increasingly longer periods of time.

Question 21

What are some general strategies and techniques
when addressing executive function impairment?

Answer 21

▪ Enhance a client’s awareness of deficits.
▪ Assist the client
▪ Address the client’s ability to execute the task
▪ Assist the client in evaluating how well the task was completed.

Question 22

Goal-plan-do-review (GPDR)

Answer 22

This technique involves
the client writing down the goal, identifying the plan
for accomplishing the goal, completing the task, and
then reviewing successes and failures after the task

Question 23

Predict-perform:

Answer 23

Client predicts how he or she will do on a certain task and then analyze success once the
task is completed.

Question 24

Executive Impairment Coping
Techniques

Answer 24

▪Use external structure; make notes and lists to plan
and keep organized.
▪Acknowledge limitations.
▪Gather information about this type of disability.
▪Have a coach to assist

Question 25

Anosognosia

Answer 25

is the inability to identify
impairments in one’s self

Question 26

Generalization

Answer 26

Generalization is the ability to apply learned skills to both predictable and unpredictable
environments
