• Patient consistently performs the desired behavior or strategy correctly
• Errors are prevented

Question 16

What is multicontext approach?

spaced retrieval

Question 19

Cognitive rehab strategy typically for people w/severe impairment or impaired self-awareness?
Why?

Answer 19

• skill- task-habit-training

- bc relies on procedural and errorless learning (implicit/nondeclaritive memory)

Answer 20

cognitive system

automatic system

Question 21

Cognitive rehab strategy typically for people w/mild to moderate impairment or relatively intact self-awareness?
Why?

Answer 21

• strategy training

- relies on conscious control (explicit/declaritive memory)

Answer 27

False

Question 28

Difference b/w passive and active memory strategy

Answer 28

- passive = severe memory impairment whose caregivers set up and maintain the external memory strategy/system - active = are aware of their problems with forgetting and learn to use the memory strategy
