SCATBI Flashcards
Normed
Normed on Acquired Brain Injury Population
Subtests
5 scales to measure cognitive/linguistic performance
1) Perception/Discrimination
2) Orientation
3) Organization
4) Recall
5) Reasoning
What do the perception/discrimination subtests assess?
Attention
Initiating
Sustaining
Shifting focus of attention
Inhibiting Inappropriate Stimuli
Sound Recognition
Perception/Discrimination
Play tape sounds
Tap when you hear a bell sound
*selective attention, inhinition
Shape Recognition
Perception/Discrimination
Gesture/tell if a card is a circle
Word Recognition (no distractions)
Perception/Discrimination
Play a story, tap/gesture every time you hear the word “no”
**selective attention, inhibition
Word Recognition (with distractions)
Perception/Discrimination
Tap when you hear the word “to” with cafeteria noise in the background
**selective attention (higher demand), inhibition
Color Discrimination
Perception/Discrimination
point to yellow shapes in field of different colored shapes
Shape Discrimination
Perception/Discrimination
point to circles out of field of different shapes
Size Discrimination
Perception/Discrimination
point to small circles in field large and small circles
Discrimination of color, shape, & size
Perception/Discrimination
point to all yellow circles
point to all large square
point to all large red triangles
point to all small yellow squares
**EF, selective attention, memory
Discrimination of pictured objects
Perception/Discrimination
Show pictures, point to named picture
Fo6
Semantic & phonemic foils
**visual attention, VS skills, receptive language
Auditory Discrimination Real Words
Perception/Discrimination
Listen to words, and tell if they the same/different
cat/bat, rice/rice, coat/coat, soup/soon, tree/three
Auditory Discrimination Nonsense Words
Perception/Discrimination
Listen to words, and tell if they the same/different (but with non words)
Premorbid Questions
Orientation
Ask questions (“how old are you?” “what year is it?”)
If don’t respond, give options (“are you less than 30, 30-60, older than 60?”)
Postmorbid Questions
Orientation
Questions probing orientation
“what day is it?”
“what city are we in?”
Organization Subtests
Plays a role in acquiring new information
Includes categorization & sequencing
Identifying Picture Categories
Organization
Provide 16 pictures of buildings, veggies, animals, vehicles
Pt has to sort cards into correct category
Identifying Pictured Category Members
Organization
Fo6
“which objects hold water?”
Word Associations
Organization
Read lists of words, pt says what words do not below with the others
Word categories
Sequencing Objects (Size)
Organization
Arrange squares of various sizes from smallest to largest
Sequencing Words (Alphabetical)
Organization
given cards with words on them
Sequencing Events (time of year)
Organization
Time of year
Pictures of holidays, point in order they actually happen
Sequencing Events (pictured tasks)
Organization
Order picture cards of making pasta
Sequencing Events (recall task steps)
Organization
Tell how to change batteries in a flashlight, give all steps (5 steps)
Pt does NOT hear story first
Recall Subtests
Problems at the level of encoding, storage, or retrieval using recognition, free recall
Another problem could be lack of strategies to deal with interference
Memory for Graphic Elements
Recall
Show them picture, take it away, then have pt find it in a bigger picture
e.g. Show picture of car, show picture of parking lot & ask pt to find the car in the parking lot
Do 2x
Increasing complexity & distracting stimuli
**visual memory, selective attention, scanning
Naming Pictures (word retrieval)
Recall
Confrontation naming
Immediate Recall of Word Strings
Recall
Listen to series of words & repeat
goes up to 5 words
STM
Delayed Recall of Word Strings
Recall
Play words, pause, wait to repeat until hear the tone
30s delay
Cued Recall of Words
Recall
Teach 3 words, ask to recall again after distracting questions
Cued Recall of Words in Discourse
Recall
Hear passage, told certain words to remember, at end of passage say words they were asked to remember
8 words to remember
**hard task, selective attention, EF, WM
Word Generation
Recall
Verbal fluency task
Divergent naming task with letter “r”
Immediate Recall of Oral Directions
Recall
Auditory Comprehension, too!!
Following directions, complex 3 step directions
Recall of Oral Paragraphs
Recall
listen to paragraph, asked Q’s at end
Figural Reasoning/Matrix Analogies
Reasoning
shown group of pictures, 1 picture missing
need to decide which picture is missing among choices
Convergent Thinking: Central Theme
Reasoning
listen to story, make inference about where you are (airplane, elevator, movie theater)
**convergent thinking, recognizing & analyzing what is relevant and what is missing to identify a central theme
Deductive Reasoning/Elimination
Reasoning
Given clues about an object, need to select correct object from Fo4-5
**drawing conclusions in a step by step manner giving general principles
Inductive Reasoning (opposites)
Reasoning
clinician reads a word, client tells opposite
**forming a solution based on details
Inductive Reasoning (analogies)
Reasoning
give word that best completes an analogy
clinician reads and pt fills the blank in verbally
“dog is to puppy as cow is to____”
Divergent Thinking (homographs)
Reasoning
Give pt word, they need to make up 2 sentences with the word in different uses
e.g. fire (fire an employee, light a fire)
- *generating abstract ideas that deviate from standard concepts
- *test of higher level language, syntax, semantics
Divergent Thinking (idioms)
Reasoning
Clinician reads an idiom, pt has to descibe it
“raining cats and dogs”
Divergent Thinking (proverbs)
Reasoning
clinician reads a proverb, pt explains it
“too many cooks spoil the broth”
Divergent Thinking (verbal absurdities)
Reasoning
clinician reads a sentence that doesnt make sense, pt has to say what is wrong with the sentence
tell me what is wrong with the sentence/why it does not make sense
e.g. “if it’s too warm in here, just turn up the heat”
Multi-Process Reasoning (task insight)
Reasoning
Clinician names common situation then asks Q’s about it
Have client explain how their disability may affect the situation
- *INSIGHT
- *meta-cognitive, awareness of deficits, reasoning
Multi-Process Reasoning (analysis)
Reasoning
clinician reads more stories, pt has to match people with things in the story
logic problems, pt can take notes, given written stimulus
- *WM, verbal reasoning, logic
- *DEDUCTIVE REASONING
