Exam 3 Cognition Flashcards
Cognition and Perceptual Impairments categories (3-7)
- ~cognition
- ~higher order/ executive function
- ~Perception
- body scheme/body image disorders
- spatial relation disorders
- ~Agnosias
- ~apraxia
Cognition and perceptual impairments: cognition categories (2)
- ~attention deficits
- ~memory impairments
Cognition and perceptual impairments: cognition categories- attention deficits (4)
- ~Sustained attention
- ~Selective attention
- ~Divided attention
- ~Alternative attention
Cognition and perceptual impairments: cognition categories- memory impairments (3)
- ~immediate recall
- ~short- term
- ~long- term
Cognition and perceptual impairments: Higher-order/ executive function (4)
- ~Volition
- ~Planning
- ~Purposive action
- ~Effective performance
define Volition
Ability to move
define Planning
Want to do something so you plan your movement
define: Purposive action
When you are able to do an action that has a pursue
Cognition and perceptual impairments: perception (4)
- ~body scheme/ body image
- ~spatial relation disorders
- agnosia
- apraxia
Cognition and perceptual impairments: 5 body scheme/ body image disorders
- ~Unilateral neglect
- ~Anosognosia
- ~Somatoagnosia
- ~Right-left discrimination
- ~Finger agnosia
Cognition and perceptual impairments: 7 spatial relations impairments
- ~Figure-ground discrimination
- ~Form discrimination
- ~Spatial relations
- ~Position in space
- ~Topographical disorientation
- ~Depth and distance perception
- ~Vertical disorientation
Unilateral neglect (4 things about it)
- ~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
Anosognosia
what is it?
when does it occur?
when is it most prominent?
- ~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
Define 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
define Right-left discrimination impairment
- ~No clue on R/L
- ~Have to put some other input besides r/l; tapping, colors, etc
Define 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
define Figure-ground discrimination impairment
- ~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
describe Form discrimination impariment
- ~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
define “Position in space” impairment
- ~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
describe “Topographical disorientation” impariment
- ~Map- if you want them to gym from their room, they wont remember how they got there (the twists and turns)
- ~They wont remember how to get to the restroom
- ~Very common in TBI and stroke; good reason to keep them in therapy
