Theoretical Foundations =
· Cognitive Psychology · Educational Psychology · Occupational Therapy Practice · Structural Cognitive Modifiability (idea that you can actually modify the way an individual can learn by different strategies)
Cognition =
Information Processing Skills
Learning
the ability to create behavors and change them based on situations (observable behavior)
Generalization
being able to take what you’ve learned and modify them to new situations
Processing Strategies
Units that are observable and contribute to performance
prioritizing and matching
Prioritizing Incoming Information
knowing which is most important in that specific instance (i.e. looking at a dog and walking into the street)
Matching abilities with desired outcome
sales people do this all the time; changing dependent on the person/situation
The processing strategies can be either...
External = observable
Internal = cannot be seen; actual thinking process
Information Processing Model
1. Input – the receiving of information 2. Elaboration – how you make sense of it in your brain (ex: group study is important, because everyone puts things together differently) 3. Output – performance 4. Feedback – How do you evaluate what you’re doing.
Metacognition
= thinking about thinking “I think therefore I am”; not only do we know a behavior but we know why we’re doing it and can anticipate outcomes
Levels of Awareness

Intellectual Awareness
· the person’s ability to understand at some level that their cognitive function is impaired (I get confused, some things seem harder)
Emergent Awareness
· ability to recognize that they are experiencing a performance problem as it’s occurring
Anticipatory Awareness
· ability to predict or anticipate when/where someone will have a problem (happens before the problem occurs)
