Stucky Chapter 5

Question 1

Gf-Gc (fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence

Answer 1

Top down hierarchical model that says multiple distinct intelligences, eight relatively broad, intelligences, such as Gf andGc, approximately 70 other relatively, narrow or specific abilities

Question 2

intellectual disability

Answer 2

Dash onset before age 18
– Approximately greater than or equal to two standard deviations below the mean
– Reflecting limitations in general intellectual functioning, combined with significant deficits in two or more adaptive skills

Question 3

posterior net work

Anterior Nettwerk

Answer 3

– Posterior network has to do with orienting and shifting attention

– Interior system serves as the detection subsystem, and involves detecting stimuli either from sensory events or from memory

– The two networks also interconnect, allowing for completion of multiple aspects of a task, such as both the orienting and detection of a stimulus

– A third area, the alerting that work (sub served by the ascending reticular activating system, or ARAS) can influence both anterior and posterior networks, operating at high or low levels of arousal

Question 4

processing speed

Answer 4

Is dependent on neural transmission and integrity and volume of white matter, making up cortico-cortical connections

– Other brain areas affecting processing speed include

– Basal ganglia
– Frontal regions (especially dorsolateral prefrontal)
– Cerebellum

– Example of test, measuring processing speed, include coding andPASAT

Question 5

specific disorders affecting attention

Answer 5

– Delirium

– attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder

– Hemispatial in attention, a.k.a. neglect 

– Traumatic brain injury

– depression and anxiety, fatigue and lack of sleep, or sleep disorders, low or poor arousal, environmental factors, (noise, ), medication‘s

dash reduced motivation or effort,

– Factors affecting processing speed include being mentioned above as well as conditions, that diffusely impact various brain structures and white matter. Integrity (multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, vascular, cognitive impairment, Parkinson’s disease)

Question 6

delirium

Answer 6

– Marked by waxing and waning deficits in attention, increased, distractibility, poor awareness, and persistent confusion

– Primary attentional process, affected our span and arousal 

Question 7

Hemispatial in attention

Answer 7

Tash impairment in awareness of visual stimuli on the side, contralateral to the brain lesion, and it’s not the result of a primary sensory deficit

– Associated features include anosognosia (denial of illness), extinction of stimuli, and asomatognosia (denial of body part )

– Underlying pathology is most commonly associated with lesions in the temporal parietal region but it’s not exclusive to this region

– Usually the left side of space is affected as a result of a right hemisphere lesion, but the right side of space can be affected with left hemisphere lesions

– The type of attention affected as spatial, focused attention and selective attention 

Question 8

sensory neglect

Answer 8

An acquired inattention or unawareness to part of space as in hemi neglect, it is contralateral to the lesion 

Question 9

Motor neglect

Answer 9

Involves a failure to respond or initiate movement (akinesia) to stimuli in contralateral space

Question 10

Combined sensory motor neglect

Answer 10

Involves both ignoring stimuli and performing fewer movements in contralateral space
