Module 2: Lesson 2: Intervention considerations Flashcards
What is the ACTIVE trial?
Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly
What is described below:
- 10 yr randomized, controlled, intervention study
- Generated highest strength of EBP
- Training focused on 3 cognitive abilities regarded as ADL relevant and most vulnerable to early age-related cognitive decline
ACTIVE trial
What is the ACTIVE trial?
- 10 yr randomized, controlled, intervention study
- Generated highest strength of EBP
- Training focused on 3 cognitive abilities regarded as ADL relevant and most vulnerable to early age-related cognitive decline
- General training foci (work book exercises)
Name the treatment foci of the ACTIVE trial
- Memory
- Reasoning
- Attention and processing speed
What word is described below:
Use of mnemonic strategies that rely on visual imagery, semantic knowledge, and organization techniques to remember word lists and sequences of items, text material, and the main ideas and details of stories.
Verbal episodic memory
What term is described below:
Education on how to solve problems by organizing information and identifying repetitive patterns to determine what should come next
Inductive reasoning/working memory
Name the 6 key overarching cognitive functions
- Attention
- Memory
- EF
- Unilateral neglect
- Visual object agnosia
- Apraxia
How many types of attention are there?
5
Name the type of attention below:
Detecting and allocating attention to different parts of space
Spatial
Name the type of attention below:
- Maintaining a consistent behavioral set
- Activation and inhibition of responses linked to selecting target stimuli from background stimuli
Selective attention
Name the type of attention below:
Maintaining a consistent response during continuous, repetitive or proglonged activity
Sustained attention
Name the type of attention below:
Switching response sets according to environmental cues, allowing 2 activities with distinct response requirements to be performed in sequence
Alternating attention
Name the type of attention below:
Dividing attention to respond to 2 or more tasks at the same time
Divided attention
What activities/techniques are most frequently used to rehabilitate nonspatial attention?
- Bottom-up
- Highly structured
- Usually pencil/paper or computer based
- Designed to stress specific attentional systems
- Clients respond selectively to stimuli with variations in cueing, distraction, stimulus and complexity
What is declarative memory?
- Introspection (person knows that he or she knows something)
- Divided into immediate or sensory, STM or working memory, supraspan episodic and semantic
What type of memory is described below:
- Discrete events that retain temporal and sensory association
- Memory of autobiographical events including times, places, associated emotions, and other contextual information, and it is relevant to events of the recent and distance past
Episodic memory
What is episodic memory?
- Discrete events that retain temporal and sensory association
- Memory of autobiographical events including times, places, associated emotions, and other contextual information, and it is relevant to events of the recent and distance past
