Study Notes
Working Memory Components
- Short-term Memory (STM): Holds information for seconds to minutes with a capacity of 7 ± 2 items; chunking aids memorization.
- If not rehearsed, information is lost from STM in about 20 seconds.
- Long-term Memory (LTM): Stores information permanently with an unknown or infinite capacity.
Key Components of Working Memory
- Central Executive: Oversees information flow, manages STM and LTM interactions, and integrates new information.
- Phonological Loop: Involves “inner speech” or self-talk, aiding in task management and memory.
Mini-Mental Status Examination
- Conducted via informal inquiry assessing orientation to place and registration of words.
- Registration Tasks: Naming three objects (e.g., apple, table, penny) that must be two syllables or less to facilitate memory recall.
- Scoring for MMSE ranges from 0 to 30; below 24 indicates cognitive impairment.
Levels of Impairment in MMSE
- None: Score of 24-30
- Mild: Score of 18-24
- Severe: Score of 0-17
- Criticisms include low reliability and sensitivity for detecting mild cognitive impairment.
Delayed Recall and Language Tasks
- Delayed recall emphasizes attention and executive function; requires participants to remember and recite words after a set interval.
- Sentence repetition tests verbal memory and cognitive processing.
- Verbal fluency tasks involve naming words that start with a specific letter, assessing word retrieval ability.
LOTCA Cognitive Assessment
- Developed by Itzkovich, Averbuch, Elazar, and Katz; assesses cognitive abilities in adults with neurological and mental health issues.
- LOTCA-G has a memory subtest, measuring selective attention through tasks like searching symbols on a colored map.
- Scoring for attention tasks is based on the number of symbols found within a time limit.
Activities and Tests for Attention and Memory
- Uses non-standardized tools to evaluate attention and memory, offering flexibility in assessment.
- Includes engaging tasks like elevator counting and visual/auditory symbol searches, adapting to test different cognitive functions.
