a. shift towards client-centered approach
b. the world war
c. medical model era
c. medical model era
Is CD a top or bottom FOR?
Bottom
T or F: CD can be used with all populations across the lifespan.
F; Only used with people with cognitive disabilities across the lifespan (stroke, Alzheimer’s, autism, CP, dementia, IDD, learning disabilities, personality disorders)
Allen believes that functional behavior is based on…
cognition
T or F: Broad FOR in the sense that you can use it in acute care or chronic settings
True
Using CD, you are put on a cognitive level from ____ to _____
0.8-6.8
How many cognitive levels are there?
6
Below 1 is:
- functional
- death
- comatose
- there isn’t a level below 1
comatose
Above 6 is _____
normal functioning
At what level can you live independently?
4.6
What are some of the strengths of CD FOR?
It comes as close as you can get to a cookbook; very evidence based
What are some of the weaknesses of CD FOR?
It’s too reductionistic; too medical model. It emphasizes a person’s weaknesses and not their strengths
What specific process skill is worked on with CD?
Cognition
What client factors are worked on with CD?
cognitive function, including attention, information processing, and motor actions
Our domain of concern with CD includes?
All performance areas: ADL, IADL, Education, Work, Play, Leisure, Social Participation
Process skills (cognition)
Routines & habits
Physical & social contexts
Analysis of activity demands
Client factors: cognitive function, including attention, information processing, and motor actions
What happens when clients plateau?
They are unlikely to change
According to Allen, change occurs as a result of?
It is the result of a neurological change due to meds or brain changes.
The theoretical base of CD includes:
Neuroscience Neuroanatomy Neurochemistry Normal human functioning Normal cognitive ability
T or F: Clients will do the best they can given the situation
True
T or F: Persons with cognitive disabilities are limited in their ability to learn
True
T or F: Abnormalities in the brain characterize the majority of the occupational therapist’s clients
True
T or F: A cognitive disability is caused by a biological defect
True
_______ _________ is viewed as the information processing capacity that can be observed and inferred when people carry out planned motor actions
Cognitive ability
Understanding of activity analysis is beneficial when looking at _____ _______
cognitive ability
_______ ________ is a limitation in sensorimotor actions originating in the physical or chemical structures of the brain and producing observable and assessable limitations in routine task behavior
cognitive disability
CD FOR believes that we have the best ability to function when
highest practicable physical, mental, & psychological performance for client
T or F: Cognitive disabilities (the condition) may limit task performance, leading to an inability to reach goals.
True
Some theorists associated with CD FOR are?
Piaget and Luria
Allen’s cognitive levels are similar to Piagets _____ __ ________
stages of intellectual development
T or F: Higher Cortical Functions in Man (known for Luria-Nebraska Assessment) Allen accepts the notion that cognition is determined by the chemical and physiological structures of the brain.
True (I copied this from the slide in case you think it makes no sense =P)
T or F: Allen’s theory incorporates current research on how the brain processes information
True
