Abstract

Episodic memory is the name of the kind of memory that records personal experiences instead of the mere remembering of impersonal facts and rules. This type of memory is extremely sensitive to ageing and disease so an understanding of the mechanisms of episodic memory might lead to the development of therapies suited to improve memory in some patient populations. Episodic memory is unique in that it includes an aspect of self-awareness and helps us to remember who we are in terms of what we did and what we have been passed through and what we should do in the future. This book brings t

Abstract

Many people with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are remarkably proficient at remembering how things look and sound, even years after an event. They are also good at rote learning and establishing habits and routines. Some even have encyclopaedic memories. However, all individuals with ASD have difficulty in recalling personal memories and reliving experiences, and less able people may have additional difficulty in memorising facts. This book assembles research on memory in autism to examine why this happens and the effects it has on people's lives. The contributors utilise advances in the understanding of normal memory systems and their breakdown as frameworks for analysing the neuropsychology and neurobiology of memory in autism. The unique patterning of memory functions across the spectrum illuminates difficulties with sense of self, emotion processing, mental time travel, language and learning, providing a window into the nature and causes of autism itself.

Abstract

Rehabilitation provides a core concept around which to organise support, intervention and care for people with impairments in memory and other cognitive functions. This book introduces a conceptual framework and rationale for the application of a neuropsychological rehabilitation approach for people with dementia, helping them to manage, bypass or overcome these problems and experience optimum well-being.Methods and techniques of cognitive rehabilitation are described and the process of goal-setting is discussed in detail, showing how effective strategies may be linked to form an individualised, goal-oriented approach to intervention. The application of a rehabilitation approach in real-life contexts is explored, demonstrating the role and value of neuropsychological rehabilitation within a holistic, psychotherapeutic framework of care and support.This overview of the neuropsychological rehabilitation approach to dementia care will be of great interest to psychologists as well as to those studying or practising in the area

Abstract

Dieser Band ist Bestandteil einer kombinierten Gedächtnis- und Psychomotorikaktivierung zur Förderung von Selbständigkeit und Wohlbefinden bei Pflegeheimbewohnern. Er stellt einen in der Praxis erprobten Leitfaden für die Durchführung kognitiver Aktivierung dar und richtet sich in erster Linie an Personen, die beruflich oder ehrenamtlich im Bereich der Altenhilfe tätig sind. Ziel der Kognitiven Aktivierung mit SimA-P ist die Förderung der geistigen und alltagspraktischen Leistungsfähigkeit von Teilnehmern mit beginnenden Abbauerscheinungen oder nach längerer Inaktivität. Bei Bewohnern mit bereits bestehenden kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen soll eine weitere Verschlechterung durch die Aktivierung verzögert werden. Neben einem einführenden Theorieteil sind in diesem Band 24 Therapieeinheiten mit ausführlichen Durchführungsanweisungen enthalten. Konkrete Ablaufpläne und Arbeitsmaterialien für die Gruppenarbeit erleichtern dabei wesentlich die Umsetzung in der täglichen Praxis. Kopiervorlagen zu den einzelnen Übungen finden sich zusätzlich auf der beigelegten CD-ROM.
