Exam Review Questions (Random) Flashcards
Somatodyspraxia
A deficit in learning new motor skills, planning new motor actions and generalizing motor plans
Declarative memory

Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS)
Requires special training!
Assesses an individual’s motor and process skills, sometimes embedding a task that is an ADL category
The Routine Task Inventory
Assessment
Uses observation to assess 14 different areas of ADL and is based on cognitive disabilities model (so clients who are cognitively intact are not appropriate candidates)
The Bay Area Functional Performance Evaluation
Measures performance skills (not occupations or ADLs)
Memory, organization, attention spans, test completion, motivation and frustration tolerance
Apraxia vs. Agnosia
Apraxia = inability to demonstrate purposeful movements Agnosia = inability to recognize common objects and their use in an activity
What is the MOST important aspect of administering and scoring a standardized test?
Adherence to specific instructions for administration and scoring
Self-awareness is…
Not recognizing errors, inability to use feedback, and false beliefs about capabilities
Selective attention is…
the ability to attend to relevant stimuli while inhibiting the distractions and irrelevant information (randomly missing M’s in an array)
Role performance
Involves identifying, maintaining and balancing functions one assumes or acquires in society
OT’s can help with constructing or reconstructing roles
Mental tracking is…
the ability to simultaneously keep track of two or more stimuli, during ongoing activity (e.g. cooking and watching television)
Shifting of attention is…
the ability to shift or alternate attention between tasks with different cognitive and or motor requirements
Part C Intervention Programs are focused on…
Supporting learning and development within the context of children’s and families’ everyday activities and routines
In clients (particulary teens) with conduct disorder, we are particularly concerned with… (2 things)
Attention span
Social interaction

Swan neck deformity
PIP joint hyperextension
DIP joint flexion
Boutonniere deformity
PIP joint flexion
DIP joint hyperextension

Complex rotation (in hand manipulation) is…
rotation of object 180 to 360 degrees once or repetitively (needed to switch from writing to erasing with pencil)
Backward chaining vs Forward chaining
Backward = client does the last steps (immediate success so good for low frustration tolerance)
Forward = client does the first steps (helpful for sequencing and generalizing)
