Cognitive and perceptual deficits Flashcards
1
Q
Perception
A
- requires sensation
- organization of sensory stimuli into meaningful information
- draws on past experiences
- helps us make sense out of a complex and changing environment
2
Q
executive function
what is it and where does this happen
A
- ability to engage in self-directed, purposive volitional behavior
- needed to set goals and follow through on them
- ability to self-monitor and self correct
- related to frontal and pre-frontal cortices
- reciprocal connections with other regions
3
Q
impaired executive function
A
- apathy
- poor insight into deficits
- inappropriate behavior
- poor judgement (in terms of safety)
- impaired social pragmatics
4
Q
Perceptual deficits related to association areas and with executive function issues
could be due to
A
- could be due to frontal or part of parietal/temporal lobe dysfunction
5
Q
Dorsolateral prefrontal association
A
- goal-oriented behavior,self awareness
6
Q
Parietotemporal assoication
A
- sensory integration,
- problem solving,
- understanding language
- spacial relationships
7
Q
ventral and medial dorsal prefrontal assoication
A
- emotion
- motivation
- personality
8
Q
impaired body scheme and body image issues
causes what issues
A
- unilateral neglect
- anosgnosia
- somatoangosia
- right-left discrimination
- finger angosia
8
Q
unilateral neglect
where is the lesion/dysfunction
A
- right parietal lobe (inferior-posterior)
- left side of the body is ignored
9
Q
anosgnosia
what is it and where is the lesion
A
- dont recognize the body as part of their own
- parietal lobe (supramarginal gyrus)
10
Q
somatoangosia
A
- dont recognize body parts
- example: show me your arm and they do not know what that is
- dominant parietal lobe
11
Q
right-left discrimination
A
- cant figure out left vs right
- parietal lobe
12
Q
finger agnosia
what is it and where is damage
A
- cant identify what finger is what
- parietal lobe (angular gyrus)
13
Q
gerstmann’s syndrome
A
- large MCA or a smaller stroke in the angular gyrus
- bilateral finger agnosia
- agraphia cant write
- acalculia: lose the ability to perform math
14
Q
spatial relations disorders
A
- figure-ground discrimination: right patieto-occipital lesion
- form discrimination
- spatial relations
- position in space
- topogrraphic disorientation: cant find their way
- depth and distance perception
- vertical disorientation: not knowing vertical
