Attention
This subtype of attention involves responding to a single stimulus while ignoring irrelevant stimuli.
What is focused attention?
This memory system briefly holds information from the senses immediately after perception.
What is sensory memory?
These cognitive processes involve planning, judgment, and abstract thinking.
What are executive functions?
This rehabilitation approach uses planners, checklists, and smartphones to compensate for deficits.
What is the compensatory approach?
Aggression, irritability, and poor frustration tolerance are examples of these complications after brain injury.
What are neurobehavioral changes?
Applied Behavior Analysis is the science of predicting and changing these types of behaviors.
What are socially significant behaviors?
Reading a book or watching a TV show are examples of this type of attention.
What is sustained attention?
Calculating change in your head uses this type of memory.
What is working memory?
Individuals with executive functioning deficits may demonstrate this behavior characterized by acting without thinking.
What is impulsivity?
This rehabilitation approach relies on repeated stimulation to reorganize the brain’s circuitry.
What is the restorative approach?
This brief phase after emerging from coma is characterized by bizarre and impulsive behavior.
What is coma-emergent agitation?
ABA considers these three variables: the individual, the target behavior, and this third factor.
What is the environment?
This type of attention allows someone to study while music is playing.
What is selective attention?
This long-term memory type includes facts and general knowledge about the world.
What is semantic memory?
This executive function skill involves independently assessing behavior and making changes as needed.
What is self-monitoring?
The Attention Process Training Program begins with this type of attention task.
What is sustained attention?
During coma-emergent agitation, this type of environment is recommended.
What is a quiet, structured, low-stimulation environment?
A behavior that serves the same function as a target behavior but is safer or more appropriate is called this.
What is a functionally equivalent alternative?
Reading a recipe while stirring a pot is an example of this attention subtype.
What is alternating attention?
Remembering how to ride a bike relies on this type of implicit memory.
What is procedural memory?
The ability to move freely from one activity to another and consider multiple solutions is called this.
What is cognitive flexibility or changing set?
This principle moves treatment from quiet environments to distracting environments.
What is the environmental stimulus approach?
The Stability Triangle includes medical stability, stable behavior, and this third component.
What is a stable activity plan?
Teaching someone to ask for a break instead of yelling during therapy is an example of this.
What is a functionally equivalent alternative?
Driving while talking on the phone requires this highest-level attention skill.
What is divided attention?
Memory impairments may result from problems with these three processes.
What are encoding, storage, and retrieval?
This higher-order self-regulatory function involves awareness of one’s own thinking processes.
What is metacognition?
This concept progresses treatment from concrete information to abstract information.
What is cognitive distance?
This common co-morbid condition can interfere with cognitive rehabilitation and treatment participation.
What is depression?
In behavior analysis, anything an individual does that can be measured is defined as this.
What is behavior?
