38
Agraphia:
: Inability to write, lesion anywhere in the cerebrum
39
Apraxia:
an acquired disorder of skilled purposeful movement that is not a result of paresis, akinesia, ataxia, sensory loss, or comprehension
40
Ideational Apraxia aka conceptual apraxia
inability to use real object appropriately. | Ex - client attempting to write with a spoon
41
Ideomotor Apraxia
inability to carry out a motor act on verbal command or imitation (but is able to perform the act correctly when asked to use the actual object).
42
Agnosia:
the inability to recognize objects, lesions of the sensory cortices
43
Hyperarousal:
restlessness, agitation, or delirium
44
Hypoarousal:
drowsiness to stupor/coma (coma unarousable/unresponsive, stupor takes vigorous stimulation to arouse)
45
Persistent vegetative state (PVS)
damage to the cerebral cortex where the link to the brainstem is destroyed, mentation is absent even with random movements
46
Locked in syndrome
damage to the pons with no mental deficit but an inability to move anything but the eyes
47
Brain death:
destruction of both upper and lower parts of the reticular formation in the brain stem
48
Focused attention
respond to different stimuli, physical and mental components, good posture or body orientation
49
Sustained attention
vigilance. Attend for a long time, R hemisphere
50
Selective attention
activating and inhibiting responses selectively
51
Alternating attention
alternating between mental tasks
52
Divided attention
do several things at once
53
Orbital prefrontal region
attends to facial expressions; damage to this region: lacks the ability to read someone’s facial expressions; increased evidence of this happening in MS patients
54

controls human behavior; motivation
55
4 primary emotions
pain, anger, pleasure, fear
56

Perseveration | Conceptual definition:
repeated movements or acts during functional performance, prefrontal = repetition of whole actions or action components, premotor = compulsive repetition of the same movement
80
Perseveration | Operational definition:
repeats movements or acts and cannot stop them once initiated,
81
Topographical Disorientation
Difficulty finding direction in space
82
Unilateral Body Neglect | •Conceptual Definition:
failure to report, respond, or orient to a unilateral stimulus presented to affected side, can be due to sensory processing or attention deficits, usually affects left side of body (right side brain damage)
83
Unilateral Body Neglect | Operational Definition
does not dress affected side, does not pull shirt down on affected side, does not correct errors on affected side
84
Unilateral Spatial Neglect | •Conceptual Definition:
inattention or neglect of visual stimuli to affected side, may occur with hemianopsia (unilateral visual neglect)
