What are the three basic components of memory? Correct Answer encoding, storage, and retrieval

What are the four main types of memory? Correct Answer sensory memory (or immediate memory), short-term memory, working memory, and long-term memory

What is sensory memory? Correct Answer holds information from the senses for a few seconds immediately after the item is perceived

What is short-term memory? Correct Answer enables recall of information lasting a few minutes to hours

What is working memory? Correct Answer temporary storage and active processing for information

• / 4

What is long-term memory? Correct Answer permanent consolidation and storage of information

How can long term memory be split up? Correct Answer Explicit (semantic = words, ideas, concepts & episodic = personal experiences) and implicit (procedural = skills/tasks)

What is processing speed? Correct Answer a cognitive reaction time/time it takes a person to gather the information presented, process it, and respond; delayed processing makes an individual more susceptible to distracters

How does brain injury affect processing? Correct Answer through the anatomic or physiologic disruption of white matter tracts in the brain; diffuse axonal injury is often associated with deficits in information processing speed

What is executive functioning? Correct Answer the most complex cognitive process that involve reasoning, planning, judgment, initiation, and abstract thinking

What is metacognition? Correct Answer awareness of one's own cognitive processing

What are three levels of impairments in metacognition following brain injury? Correct Answer awareness of deficits caused by the 2 / 4

injury, awareness of the functional implications of these deficits, and an awareness to set realistic goals

What is cognitive rehabilitation? Correct Answer a systematically applied set of medical and therapeutic services designed to improve cognitive functioning and participation in activities that may be affected by difficulties in one or more cognitive domains

What are factors that interfere with cognitive rehabilitation?Correct Answer hearing, vision, communicative function, medical stability, and emotional/behavioral control

What % of BI patients have hearing loss (in non-blast and blast related injuries)? Correct Answer 44% non-blast, 62% blast

What is expressive language? Correct Answer the ability to communicate language

What is receptive language? Correct Answer the ability to understand language

What is apraxia of speech? Correct Answer an oral motor speech disorder in which a person cannot translate what they want to say into motor plans to initiate speech

• / 4

What is dysarthria? Correct Answer a speech disorder in which muscle weakness affects speech production

What is the difference between compensatory and restorative approaches to cognitive rehabilitation? Correct Answer compensatory approach may assume certain cognitive functions cannot be completely recovered d/t neurologic damage whereas restorative approach is based on the premise that repeated exposure and repetition of stimulation through experience can change the brain's circuitry

What is environmental stimuli management? Correct Answer involves modification of the therapy environment (from quiet to distracting); as individuals master tasks in quiet, controlled environments, tx can then move to increasingly distracting environments

What is task complexity? Correct Answer Number of parts or components in a skill, and the attention demands on the task

What is cognitive distance? Correct Answer concrete to abstract

What are the three principles of cognitive rehabilitation? Correct Answer environmental stimulus, task complexity, and cognitive distance
