- AGNOSIA: Inability to recognize the meaning of sensory stimuli.
- APHASIA: Inability to understand or express language whether written or spoken.
- AUDITORY ASSOCIATION: Ability to relate spoken words in a meaningful way.
- AUDITORY CLOSURE: Ability to accurately conceptualize in complete & meaningful form words or sounds which are
perceived in incomplete form.
- AUDITORY DISCRIMINATION: Ability to discriminate between sounds of different characteristic frequencies.
- AUDITORY PERCEPTION: Ability to understand a stimulus that is received by the auditory system resulting in recognition.
- AUDITORY RECEPTION: Ability to understand the spoken word.
- COGNITIVE STYLE: An individual's characteristic approach to problem solving & cognitive tasks.
- DIRECTIONALITY: Projecting of all directions from the body into space.
- DISTRACTIBILITY: Ready & rapid shifting of attention through a series of unimportant stimuli.
- DYSARTHRIA: Defective articulation.
- DYSCALCULIA: Calculation disability.
- DYSGRAPHIA: Inability to express ideas in writing.
- DYSLEXIA: Partial, or complete, inability to read or to understand what one reads either silently or aloud.
- DYSNOMIA: Word-finding disability.
- EXECUTIVE FUNCTION SKILLS: The ability to understand & apply concepts, strategies, & techniques of higher order thinking.
Executive Function Skills such as time management, organization, prioritizing, nonverbal communication, reading social cues
& timing of oral communication are some components of this cognitive area.
- EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE: Ability to recall relevant works & sentences to develop those ideas into a meaningful sequence for
the motoric act of speech.
- GRAMMAR CLOSURE: Ability which permits one to predict future linguistic events from past experiences.
- HYPERACTIVITY: Excessive motor function or motility.
- HYPOACTIVITY: Pronounced absence of motor activity.
- IMPERCEPTION: Inability to interpret sensory information correctly.
- KINESTHETIC: Sense that yields knowledge from the movements of the muscles of the body.
- LATERALITY: Complete motor awareness of both sides of the body.
- PERCEPTION: Process by which the Central Nervous System organizes data.
- PERSEVERATION: Persistence of previous responses in spite of their lack of application to the present situation.
- SELECTIVE ATTENTION: Allows one to focus purposefully & for an appropriate length of time on incoming data that will lead
to productive learning.
- SOFT SIGNS: Refers to minimal behavioral deviations in a person, reported by a neurologist, where the traditional
neurological examination shows no clear signs of brain damage or dysfunction.
- SPATIAL-TEMPORAL: Ability to translate a simultaneous relationship in space into a serial relationship in time or vice-versa.
- TEMPORAL-SEQUENTIAL ORGANIZATION: Development of time & sequencing. (Visual & auditory sequences affect short &
intermediate memory.)
- VISUAL ASSOCIATION: Ability to relate visual symbols in a meaningful way.
- VISUAL CLOSURE: Measures the perceptual interpretation of any visual object or thing when only a part of it is shown.
- VISUAL DISCRIMINATION: The ability to see likenesses & differences between visual patterns.
- VISUAL PERCEPTION: Phenomenon of understanding a stimulus that is received by the visual system resulting in cognition.
- VISUAL-SPATIAL ORIENTATION: Learning of spatial relationships by moving bodies & obtaining feedback from visual,
kinesthetic, tactile pathways.
