QUIZ 3 Flashcards
zone of proximal development
range of skills that the child can achieve through social interaction with a more competent individual
ideational dyspraxia
may use an object in an incorrect way and have difficulty carrying out the appropriate sequence of actions in order to perform a task.
praxis
ability to conceptualize, plan, and execute a nonhabitual motor act
adaptive response
the child also organizes a successful, goal-directed action on the environment when brain processes of sensory integration are going well
possible because the brain has been able to efficiently organize incoming sensory information, which then provides a basis for action
just-right challenge
challenges that are not so complex that they overwhelm or induce failure nor so simple that they are routine or uninteresting
requires effort but is accomplishable and satisfying
functional behavioral assessment
systematic process designed to identify the variables in the A-B-C relationship so that they can be analyzed to determine which ones are maintaining the behavior
end products of Ayres’s sensory integrative processes
ability to concentrate
ability to organize
self-esteem
self-control
self-confidence
academic learning ability
capacity for abstract thought and reasoning
specialization of each side of the body and brain
CO-OP stages
(1) skill acquisition
(2) cognitive strategy use
(3) generalization
(4) transfer of learning
CO-OP features
- goal identification
- dynamic performance analysis
- cognitive strategies that are used to support skill acquisition, generalization, and transfer
- guided discovery
- Enabling principles
- Parent or caregiver involvement
- Intervention format
CO-OP domain specific strategies
specific to a task or part of a task
global problem solving strategy used in CO-OP
intended to be used over long periods of time, in a variety of different context
GOAL-PLAN-DO-CHECK (GPDC)
motivators for challenging behaviors
removing antecedants
contingency methods
inclusion of personally meaningful activities
environmental modifications that support positive behavior
helpful in supporting transitions between activities, a time during which challenging behavior is common
Visual schedules, timers, and representational objects
Ayres’s view of sensory input
necessary for optimal brain function
must be actively organized and used by the child to act on and respond to the environment
how Aryes’s view promotes neural plasticity
change occurs in neural synapses and circuits as adaptive responses
enriching environments lead to significant increases in dendritic branching, synaptic connections, synaptic efficiency, and size of brain tissue
Aryes’s theory of CNS organization
critical aspects of sensory integration are seated in parts of the brain that are phylogenetically older and more primitive than the neocortex
sensory cues or prompts from the environment that the individual provides to him/herself to help guide skill acquisition
Tactile, visual, auditory, and/or kinesthetic cues
ex: pictures, alarm
self-coaching
Encouragement, positive self-talk, strength-based thinking to help increase persistence and/or to control and regulate the learner’s emotions.
ex: “I can do this”
self-guidance
Providing instruction to him/herself to assist in completing a new/difficult task, cueing oneself and reminders to prepare for or complete an activity.
ex: talking through the steps
self-questioning
Identifying and asking him/herself or visualizing key questions relating to the activity or task performance.
ex: picturing key transitions
imagery
mental ___ created in to represent physical objects, actions, experiences, or events.
ex: creation of symbols, or representations that have direct meaning to the client
association
Relating previous knowledge to relevant information about task.
rote-script
A pattern of words or phrases that are meaningful to the client and can help to guide a sequence of actions or improve the recall of information.
ex: “dribble, dribble, shoot”
mnemonic techniques
Associating pictures, words, phrases, or images to cue an action or enhance memory recall.
ex: bunny ears when tying shoes
elaboration
Increase and add new information and relate it back to previous knowledge.
rehearsal
Repeating information visually or mentally to aid in retention of important information related to the given task/occupation.
ex: Repeating key words/actions out loud
anticipation
Preparing for a new activity through imagining or verbalizing possible outcomes, areas of difficulty, or scenarios the learner might encounter.
ex: client goes to school they plan for loud noises, crowds, visual distractions, and possible “safe spots” to collect their thoughts when feeling overwhelmed
knowledge
Identifying, acknowledging, and reflecting on what the individual knows about a given task.
ex: Observing the individual completing the task, conducting assessment/interview to discover how much the learner knows and understands regarding task sequence and demands
translation
Converting written instructions and directions into different mediums to meet the individual’s unique learning needs.
ex: Creating visual images/schedules explaining written information
finger-pointing
Similar to attention to doing but limited to pointing with one’s finger directly at relevant task stimuli to enhancing timing within a task or refocus the learner’s attention.
task simplification
Simplifying or breaking apart the parts of a task into more manageable pieces.
ex: the learner writes their name, date, and title at the top of the page and then the teacher scribes the rest of the assignment.
lists
Creating and/or using a list of steps to help guide task performance and/or cue actions.
task specification
Discussion regarding the specifics of a task, its components, or relevant features prior to engaging in the activity.
ex: placing an “x” where the child hangs his book bag or places his lunch bag
attention to doing
Identifying the specific and relevant cues or features that need to be attended to when completing the task.
ex: “Where do you need to start your letters?”
pacing strategies
Activities that assist with the timing of tasks.
ex: humming a song, taking breaks, counting out loud or to oneself, or tapping one’s foot
stimuli reduction
Removing or decreasing the amount and number of stimuli present at a given time.
ex: when reading a page of information placing a blank sheet over of the rest of the lines of text
