If your not sure what answer should be entered, press the space bar and the next missing letter will be displayed.

When you are all done, you should look back over all your answers and review the ones in red. These ones in red are the ones which you needed help on.

Question: What is Right Hemisphere ?Answer: Damage on right side of brain, which controls cognitive functioning (thinking skills). Damage leads to cognitive-communication such as impaired memory, attention, and reasoning. Individual may not be aware of such problems (anosognosia).

Question: What is attention?Answer: Attending to more than one concurrenty.
Question: Why is important to communication?Answer: Attention is important to communication because it assures topic maintenance, responses, and social acceptance.
Question: What is the sensory (memory)?Answer: Incoming info is retained in modality-specific form (auditory, visual or tactile) - registration. It the means by which perceptions are introduced in to the memory system, not under voluntary control. perceptual, attentional, encoding processes.
Question: What is memory?Answer: Short term memory, has limited capacity and info in immediate decays within a few seconds unless it is rehearsed (retention span).
Question: What is long-term ?Answer: This is secondary , extremely large capacity and decays slowly (recurrent vs. remote)
Question: What is memory?Answer: This resembles immediate memory but is considered a mental space where temporary outcomes of cognitive are stored during complex cognitive processing.

Question: Assessing cognition: alertness?Answer: -time testing

Question: Assessing cognition: attention?Answer: 1. Retain info while performing other tasks/digits backwards 2. Dual task : two tasks at once
Question: Assessing cognition: Attention in ADL (activities of life): Answer: The test of everyday attention (TEA). May be because it assesses their performance on everyday tasks instead of just on standardized measures (Research not conclusive)
Question: Assessing cognition: Retrospective Answer: Retention span: 1. Immediate retention-digit span test(verbal) /block tapping test (nonverbal) 2. Short-term retention-delay/interruption after presentation
