Attention&Memory
What is selective attention?
This type of damage often leads to major deficits of pragmatics and neglect.
What is right hemisphere damage?
This is defined as inattention to one side.
What is hemispatial neglect?
These are the broad areas assessed by the CLQT+ (aphasia scoring).
SFA targets this deficit.
What are word finding difficulties?
This memory type has limited capacity.
What is short-term memory?
Left frontal lobe damage results in this type of aphasia.
What is non-fluent (or Broca's) aphasia?
These are tasks that are used to assess neglect.
What are line bissection and cancellation?
The Stroop task is measuring these abilities.
What are inhibition and attention?
MIT is used to treat this type of aphasia.
What is nonfluent aphasia?
This memory type involves remembering to do something in the future.
What is prospective memory?
Left hemispatial neglect is the hallmark symptom of this type of damage.
What is right parietal damage?
This is a lack of awareness of deficits.
What is anosognosia?
This is a functional communication assessment.
What is the CADL?
Constraint-Induced Language Therapy focuses on this principle.
What is forced use of verbal language?
This type of memory loss prevents patients with TBI from remembering new information (after the TBI).
What is anterograde memory loss?
Language comprehension deficits are caused by this.
What is left temporal lobe damage?
This is impaired prosody and emotional tone.1
What is aprosodia?
This test evaluates executive function in real-life tasks.
What is the FAVRES?
This type of learning is best for people with memory deficits and/or aphasia.
What is errorless learning?
A patient who forgets appointments but recalls childhood clearly would have this type of memory deficits for this reason.
What is prospective memory due to recent memory being affected but long-term memory being intact?
This is the location of damage and disorder for a patient who ignores the left side and denies having any deficits.
These are the two deficits that a patient would have who demonstrates with only eating the right side of the place and with flat affect.
What is neglect and aprosodia?
These two assessments would be beneficial for gaining WHO-ICF information regarding impairment and function (cognition/communication).
What are the CLQT+ and the CADL?
These are the best types of approaches for a patient who has fluent aphasia with poor comprehension.
What are structured comprehension treatments due to reduced complexity.
