CBIS Section 4 Review: Neurocognitive
Issues
Cognition is the ability to _______ -
mentally represent, organize, and manipulate the environment
List cognitive skills -
alertness, association, attention, categorization, comprehension, decision-making,
insight
Ways cognitive impairments can affect individual's life -
reduced independence
educational engagement
social interaction
familial interaction
Why is attention the cognitive impairment often first addressed? -
influence all other cognitive skills
6 domains of cognition -
CAMPEM
categorization
attention
metacognition
processing speed
executive functions
memory
3 principles of cognitive rehab -
environmental stimulation
task complexity
cognitive distance
focused attention -
selecting one source of information and ignore irrelevant stimuli
sustained attention -
maintain focus to complete a task accurately and efficiently over a period of time
selective attention -
maintain attention in presence of distractions
alternating attention -
Shifting between tasks that demand different behavioral or cognitive skills
divided attention -

, responding simultaneously to multiple tasks or demands while maintaining speed
and accuracy
Attention Process Training progression components, requirements for progression, and tool
used -
sustained -> selective -> alternating -> divided
mastery
repetition
Categorization allows _____ & _____ -
processing speed & problem solving
categorization enables an individual to -
organize and manage information
In someone following TBI, categorization is affected because they will often make decisions
based on ____ _____ of something -
single attributes (color)
categorization requires utilization of _________ of objects to determine ________ or
__________ -
perceptual attributes
category membership
create new categories
How can deficits in categorization affect a person with TBI? -
interfere with initiation and performance of ADLs
reduced processing, acquisition, and leaning of information
poor problem solving
poor processing speed, organizing information, stimuli response
Sensory memory -
few seconds immediately after perceived
short-term memory -
recall of info that lasts minutes -> hours
working memory -
temporary storage and active processing of information
long-term memory -
permanent storage and consolidation of information
difference between short term and working memory -
passive vs active
Types of long-term (2 major categories with subdivisions) -
explicit - semantic & episodic
implicit - procedural & cognitive skill
