Exam 3- cognition Flashcards
Cognition and Perceptual Impairments categories
~cognition ~higher order/ executive function ~performance ~Angoias ~apraxia
Cognition and perceptual impairments: cognition categories
~attention deficits
~memory impairments
Cognition and perceptual impairments: cognition categories- attention deficits
~Sustained attention
~Selective attention
~Divided attention
~Alternative attention
Cognition and perceptual impairments: cognition categories- memory impairments
~immediate recall
~short- term
~long- term
Cognition and perceptual impairments: Higher-order/ executive function
~Volition
~Planning
~Purposive action
~Effective performance
Volition
Ability to move
Planning
Want to do something so you plan your movement
Purposive action
When you are able to do an action that has a pursue
Cognition and perceptual impairments: Higher-order/ executive function
~Volition
~Planning
~Purposive action
~Effective performance
Cognition and perceptual impairments: performance
~body scheme/ body image
~spatial relations impairment
Cognition and perceptual impairments: body scheme/ body image
~Unilateral neglect ~Anosonosia ~Somatoagnosia ~Right-left discrimination ~Finger agnosia
Cognition and perceptual impairments: spatial relations impairment
~Figure-ground discrimination ~Form discrimination ~Spatial relations ~Position in space ~Topographical disorientation ~Depth and distance perception ~Vertical disorientation
Unilateral neglect
~inability to recognize half of your sensory form ½ your body that is not due to a sensory loss
~Usually left side
~pusher- push towards their affected side/ involved side
~The person will not know/ think about the involved side; the body wants to compensate and will push towards the involved side to try and make a new midline
Anosonosia
~No insight or awareness of their injury; their brain does not know that they has had the injury
~Usually resolved in the first few months
~Usually more prominent right CVA
Somatoagnosia
~“body agnosia”
~Difficulty with body structure and the relationship with one body part to another; where is my elbow in relationship to my hand
Right-left discrimination
~No clue on R/L
~Have to put some other input besides r/l; tapping, colors, etc
Finger agnosia
~Cant figure out how to use the fingers in a helpful fashion; any fine motor skill is not easy
~Opposition, tying shoes, buttoning, etc
Figure-ground discrimination
~You wont be able to discriminate between lines to find a figure; will just random line and not image
~Cant see where things are because they are all just in the background
~Cant figure out where to grab on a wheelchair
Form discrimination
~Small difference are hard for the pt to discriminate/ separate
~If you open up a drawer- there are lots of long skinny object (pencils, pens, tooth brush, etc) but they all look the same to the stroke pt
Position in space
~Up, down, in, out, below, above- all a jumbled mess to them
~Get on top of the table? Put you hand on top of your knee? Etc
~They cannot understand what that means
