Cognition and Perception

Catalog description

Early in the curricular sequence, this course lays the foundation for intervention with human conditions as they are encountered in subsequent quarters. The course addresses different components of cognition and perception, including memory, attention, learning, executive function and visual-perceptual skills, with an emphasis on examining the interplay of cognition and perception with performance in areas of occupation. Causes of cognitive and perceptual dysfunction and the impact on function are explored and interpreted. Different theories and models of practice for cognition and perception are analyzed.
