Correct.
Four Stages of Migraines
Prodome (early symptoms) =>Aura =>Headache =>Postdrome (symptoms that follow
headache)
Focused Attention
Perceive and respond to internal and external stimuli. Requires selection of once
source of information while withholding responses to irrelevant stimuli.
Sustained Attention
Maintain attention to complete a task accurately and efficiently over a period of time
Selective Attention
Maintain attention in presence of competing distractors
Alternating Attention
Shift focus between tasks
Divided Attention
Respond simultaneously to multiple task demands while maintaining speed and
accuracy
,Object/Experience Categorization
Identifying objects or experiences based on prior experiences and perceptual features
(e.g. color, shape, construction, size, detail, and function)
Categorization
Deficits in this can interfere with the initiation and performance of ADLs, the
acquisition, processing, and learning of new information, as well as successful
problem solving and decision-making
Categorization Program
a therapeutic approach aimed at remediation of deficits in both object categorization
and decision-making
Begins with basic attribute identification and extraction (e.g. naming the perceptual
attributes of an object) and then progress systematically to higher levels of concept
formation and rule- based decision making
Sensory Memory
Registers iconic (visual), echoic (hearing), haptic (touch), olfactory (smell), and
gustatory (taste) information
Attention Process Training (APT) Program
a component of hierarchically organized, process-specific approach to cognitive
rehabilitation, begins with sustained attention tasks, and progresses to selective,
alternating, and divided attention activities.
,Short-Term Memory
Recall of information lasting a few minutes to hours
Working Memory
Temporary storage and manipulation of information
Long-Term Memory
Permanent consolidation and storage of information lasting a lifetime
Splits into Explicit Memory and Implicit Memory
Explicit Memory
Memory with conscious recall: Semantic Memory and Episodic Memory
Semantic Memory
Words, Ideas, Concepts
Episodic Memory
Personal Experiences
Implicit Memory
Memory without recall: Procedural Memory
, Procedural Memory
Skills and Tasks
Processing Speed
The speed of which we process information
Executive Functions
Planning, reasoning, judgement, initiation, and abstract thinking, problem solving,
and decision making
Metacognition
self-awareness and knowledge of one's strengths and weaknessess
Increasing complexity of Cognition
Focused => Sustained => Selective => Alternating =>Divided
Cognitive Function of Frontal Lobe
Emotional Control, Behavioral Control, Verbal Expression, Problem Solving, Decision
Making, Social Control, Motivation, Attention
Cognitive Function of Parietal Lobe
Tactile Perception, Spatial Orientation, Academic Skills, Object Naming, Visual
Attention, eye-hand coordiantion
