Match the daily activities to the type of attention it represents: Reading the newspaper in a quiet room

sustained attention

Match the daily activities to the type of attention it represents: locating shopping list items from shelves in a busy store

selective attention

Match the daily activities to the type of attention it represents: cooking two dishes at the same time that require monitoring

alternating attention or divided attention

Match the daily activities to the type of attention it represents: holding a question in mind until given the opportunity to speak

working memory

Match the daily activities to the type of attention it represents:balancing a checkbook with occasional phone interruptions

alternating attention

You are interviewing Juan about his cognitive-communication abilities. He indicates three frustrations when working on activities at home or work:

a. His performance is better in the morning than the afternoon

b. He has difficulty attending to the conversation he is involved in if there are other conversations going on around him

c. While completing tasks such as balancing a spreadsheet, if he is interrupted, he is unable to go back to what he was doing prior to the interruption.

What kind of attention does each of these problems represent

a. sustained attention

b. selective attention

c. alternating attention or divided attention

Which test would you adminster to evaluate attentional skills?

Cognitive Linguistic Quick Test

Identify 3 broad approaches to intervention for attention impairments?

Direct Attention Training

Skill Specific Training

Strategies/modifications/external aids

Provide an example from your daily life of each of these types of memory:

a. Sensory Memory

b. Working Memory

c. Declarative - Episodic Memory

d. Declarative - Semantic Memory

e. Procedural Memory

f. Prospective Memory

Sensory memory- smelling chocolate chip cookies and being reminded of my dad baking chocolate cookies for my family.

Working memory- when cooking food, I'll look at the recipe to see how much of something that I need and then walk over to the ingredients to measure it out. I am holding the measurement information in my head.

Episodic memory- the memory of winning the volleyball national championship in Florida in high school.

Semantic memory- knowing the States capitals.

Procedural memory- knowing how to ride a bike, even if its been a while since doing so.

Prospective memory- knowing to take my medicine at the same time each day.

Rewrite this goal to make it measurable.

Melanie will maintain her attention while watching an episode of her favorite television show.

Melanie will maintain her attention for 20 minutes while watching her favorite show, remaining focused and undistracted in 2 out of 3 trials.

Provide an example from your daily life for each of these types of attention:

a. Sustained Attention

b. Selective Attention

c. Suppression

d. Alternating/Divided Attention

Sustained attention- reading a book for 30 minutes without getting distracted

Selective attention- focusing on homework while working in a busy coffee shop

Suppression- resisting the urge to check my phone when it goes off during a conversation with someone else

Alternating/Divided Attention- listening to a podcast while driving to school

Define prospective memory and give an example

vthe ability to remember to carry out a planned action in the future. An example is when cooking or baking, knowing to take it out of the oven when the timer goes off

The criteria used for diagnosing mild cognitive impairment are: (Choose all that apply).

Individual reports having difficulty with memory and a family member agrees.

Results of standardized testing indicate memory impairment that is greater than expected for age and education.

Individual does not demonstrate impairmenets in reasoning, general thinking or completing daily actitivies.

Tests that could be used to evaluate visual spatial neglect include all of the tests below EXCEPT:Indented Paragraphs Test

RIPA-2

Apples Test

RICE-3

RIPA-2

communication that is afected by a disruption in cognition

metacognition

awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes.

areas of cognition impacting communication

Attention

Memory

Perception

Insight and judgement

Organization

Orientation

Language

Metacognition

types of attention

sustained, selective, divided, alternating

what could damage to the frontal lobe cause?

motor control, planning, decision-making, language,

and personality, and is also involved in social behavior and emotional regulation.

○ Afects emotional control, initiation, motivation, and inhibition

○ Creates frustration and aggressiveness

○ Promiscuity and lethargy are common

○ Could lead to an inability to execute a sequence of complex

movements and tasks

what could damage to the temporal lobe cause

-Creates sudden, unprovoked aggression

-Results in short and long-term memory loss, diffculty learning, and relearning behavior

-Could lead to persistent talking

what could damage to parietal lobe cause

-Creates an inability to process body information

-Results in difficulty identifying objects using touch
