Mini Cognitive Lecture

Purpose: To develop a foundational understanding of the major components of cognition and executive functions, in order to effectively support individuals with cognitive-communicative disorders in future clinical practice.

Initial Post : Three areas related to cognition are described below. Select one of the three options below and create a mini lecture to an audience describing the subject area. Think of this as a study tool for yourself and/or an educational video for patients and families who have questions about your select option subject area. Include thorough, clear information with the intention of referring to this in your future studies and patient care.

• Option 1: Treatment Method
• Select one treatment method (addressing attention or memory) provided in the textbook and describe it in your mini lecture. In your own words, explain what the treatment is and an example of how you could use this treatment method, as a functional activity, in a therapy session.
• Option 2: Executive Functions
• Review the executive function terms in table 14-1. Re-teach and describe (in your own words) each executive function term in your lecture video.
• Option 3: Cognitive- Communicative Disorders
• In your lecture, identify and briefly define all of the cognitive communicative disorders (including subtypes) provided between pages 313- 319.

Use 1-2 images that might help you “teach” the information.
