Cognitive Disabilit Frame Of Reference Flashcards
What is the purpose of the cognitive disability frame of reference
To describe intervention strategies
What does the information processing model consist of
Input-sensory Cue
throughput-information processing
output-motors response
What is the goal of the cognitive disability frame of reference
To improve the clinicians ability to collaborate with individuals with cognitive impairments and with their caregivers to find ways to help them participate in the highest level they can
What do the six cognitive levels measure
The ability to perform daily routine tasks
Cognitive level one
Automatic actions
conscious awareness is significantly significantly impaired
can chew food, drink liquids
sensory cues ignored
motor actions have no purpose
total assistance is needed 24 hours a day
Cognitive level two
Postural actions
Sensory cues that capture attention are proprioceptive Cues
will move to increase comfort or decrease pain
can assist with hygiene (move arm or leg)
Aimless pacing
24-hour supervision
attention for about 5 to 10 minutes
cognitive level three
Manual actions
Tactile cues capture the attention of an individual
repetitive actions
focus on actions not outcomes or goals
attention is easily diverted by other cues and environment
24 hour supervision is recommended to remove excess of danger learning is not expected at this level
keep environment simple
Cognitive level four
Goal directed action
attention is directed to visual cues as well as tactile
Aware of short-term goals
actions become goal directed
familiar activities can be done independently
can follow step-by-step instructions
relies on visual cues need to be shown want to do
without supervision frequent health problems or injuries are common
Cognitive level five
Exploratory actions
individual learns by doing or being shown
trial and error is typical
Errors are understood after action is performed
Can live independently with periodic assistance
sensory cues-relationship between events
Cognitive level six
Considered normal adult functional cognitive level
Can live independently
can anticipate events
pauses to think
attention is captured by spoken or written instructions visual images diagrams
Asks questions
What are the modes of performance
They were added to the six cognitive levels and are more sensitive and descriptive to small changes
more sensitive measure of cognitive ability that emphasize the persons remaining abilities on an ordinal scale that is cumulative
What are the assessment tools in the cognitive disability frame of reference
Interview Alan cognitive level screen lower cognitive level screen large Allen cognitive level screen routine task inventory Allen diagnostic modules cognitive performance test
What is the Allen cognitive level screen
Visual motor tasks of leather lacing that provides an estimate of the persons ability to learn to do other visual motor tasks
What is the lower cognitive level screen
Assesses levels one and two
asks individuals to imitate a motor action
Who is the large Alan positive level screen used for
individuals with impaired vision or impaired fine motor skills
