Q

Active Learning

A

Asking questions while learning is active learning. Active learning is a goal-directed process. Learners ask questions with the intent of finding out the answer.

Q

Neuroanatomical-Based Approach

A
  • Treatment protocols based on theoretical constructs
  • target specific dysfunctions
  • Ex. USN-unilateral spatical neglect
  • Ex: phasic alerting, eye patch, prism adaptation
17
Q

Restorative/Remedial Approach

A
  • Hierarchical- assumes transfer from treatment tasks to variety of diverse occupational contexts
  • focus on improving cognitive deficits (the client factors/body functions of individual)
  • appropriate for clients with min to mod specific cognitive deficits
  • Ex. Use computer programs for training the mind
18
Q

Cognitive Compensatory Approach

A
  • Focus on managing- teach transfer
  • focus on acquisition of processing strategies
  • Multicontext treatment approach, goal management training, mediated learning, emotion-laden, problem-solving
  • Teach strategies based on current cognitive abilities
19
Q

Functional and Environmental Approach

A
  • Focus on managing- capitalize on procedural memory

- Errorless learning, modify task to fit cognitive level

20
Q

Cognitive Functional Evaluation based on PEO framework (STAGES)

A
  1. Interview & background information, including an occupational history
  2. Cognitive screening & baseline status tests
  3. General measures of cognition in occupations
  4. Cognitive tests for specific domains
  5. Specific measures of cognitive domains in occupational and
  6. Environmental assessment
21
Q

The encoding process

A
  • Selection
  • Acquisition
  • Construction
  • Integration
22
Q

Selection

A
  • the learner actively pays attention to some of the information that is impinging on the sense receptors, and transfers this information into working memory (or “active consciousness”).
23
Q

Acquisition

A
  • the learner actively transfers the information from working memory into long-term memory for permanent storage.
24
Q

Construction

A
  • the learner actively builds connections between ideas in the information that have reached working memory. The building of internal connections (Mayer, 1982, 1984) involves the development of a coherent outline organization or schema (Bransford, 1979) that holds the information together.
25
Q

Integration

A
  • the learner actively searchers for prior knowledge in long-term memory and transfers this knowledge to working memory. The learner may build external connections (Mayer, 1982, 1984) between the incoming information and prior knowledge.
26
Q

Eight Categories of Learning Strategies

A
  • Rehearsal strategies for basic learning tasks
  • Rehearsal strategies for complex learning tasks
  • Elaboration strategies for basic learning tasks
  • Elaboration strategies for complex learning tasks
  • Organizational strategies for basic learning tasks
  • Organizational strategies for complex learning tasks
  • Comprehension monitoring strategies
  • Affective strategies
27
Q

Rehearsal strategies for basic learning tasks

A
  • such as repeating the names of items in an ordered list.
28
Q

Rehearsal strategies for complex learning tasks

A
  • such as copying, underlining or shadowing the material presented in class.
29
Q

Elaboration strategies for basic learning tasks

A
  • such as forming a mental image or sentence relating the items in each pair for a paired-associate list of words.
30
Q

Elaboration strategies for complex learning tasks

A
  • such as paraphrasing, summarizing, or describing how new information relates to existing knowledge.
31
Q

Organizational strategies for basic learning tasks

A
  • such as group or ordering to-be-learned items from a list or a section of prose.
32
Q

Organizational strategies for complex learning tasks

A
  • such as outlining a passage or creating a hierarchy.
33
Q

Comprehension monitoring strategies

A
  • such as checking for comprehension failures. Common school tasks in this category include using self-questioning to check understanding of the material presented in class and using the questions at the beginning of a section to guide one’s reading behavior while studying a textbook.
34
Q

Affective strategies

A
  • such as being alert and relaxed, to help overcome fear of failure (being called on to respond in class or taking a test). Common school tasks in this category include reducing external distractions, or using thought stopping to prevent thoughts of doing poorly or diverting attention away from distracting thoughts or media.
