• functional cognition (strengths-based approach)

Templeton: Principles of cognitive disabilities FOR

semantic LTM

explicit knowledge memory

episodic LTM

think: episode → plot dependent → what are the events of plot

event-based memory

procedural memory

is about skills and habits

perceptual priming

prior exposure to a stimulus activates association networks

automatic actions (1)

• cognition impaired

• reflexive motor, no voluntary actions

• responds to internal sensory information

automatic actions

level 1

postural actions (2)

• cognition impaired

• gross motor movements

• responds to proprioceptive information

postural actions

level 2

Manual Actions (3)

• cognition impaired

• imitate actions

• respond to proprioceptive and tactile cues

• repetitive steps of a task

manual actions

level 3

goal-directed actions (4)

• can perform steps

• addition of visual cues

• can become distracted

goal-directed actions

level 4

exploratory actions (5)

• mild cognition impairment

• trial and error, benefit from all cues

• lack prior planning

exploratory actions

level 5

planned actions (6)

• abstract thinking, planning

• anticipate problems

• no cognitive impairment

planned actions

level 6

• facilitate functional performance (not to change the cognition)

• assistance: cueing, probing, rescueing

• modify the environment
