©HSC DIPLOMA HELP ͟͟͠͞ Unit 4222-371 Understand and enable positive interaction and communication with individuals who have dementia (DEM 312) Assessment Criteria Outcome 1 Understand the factors that can affect interactions and communication of individuals with dementia The learner can: 1. explain how different forms of dementia may affect the way an individual communicates Dementia is not a single disease, but rather a non-specific illness syndrome (i.e., set of signs and symptoms) Alzheimer’s disease (AD) usually presents with loss of memory, especially for learning new information and later behaviour that challenges. Symptoms commonly include depression, apathy, agitation, disinhibition, psychosis (delusions and hallucinations), wandering,
Each person is unique and will experience dementia in their own way. It is often the case that the person's family and friends are more concerned about the symptoms than the person may be themselves. 1.2 Describe the key functions of the brain that are - affected by dementia temporal lobe = responsible foe vision, memory,laugage, hearing,learning frontal lobe = responsible for decision making , problem solving, control behaviour and emotions parietal lobe = responsible for sensory information from the body, also where letters are formed, putting things in order and spatial awareness occipital lobe = responsible for processing information related to vision cerebrum lobe = biggest part of the Brain its role is memory, attention, thought, and our consciousness, senses and movement hippocampus = responsible for memory forming, organizing and storing and emotions 1.3 Explain why depression, delirium and age-related memory impairment may be mistaken for dementia Depression is common in the elderly especially those in instituional care setting and those with chronic medical conditions Symptoms of depression in the elderly may include:- - No energy - No appetite - Problems with memory and concentration - difficulty sleeping - Diminished functioning - Vauge back and neck pain
Language Development Theories Graphic Organizer Tia Lazarus EDD 557 Paula Rogers University of Phoenix October 5th, 2015 There are three theories of language learning that have been laid out by language theorists: The Environmentalist Theory spear-headed by Skinner, The Constructivist Theory purported by Melissa Bowerman (Vygotsky, Piaget), and The Nativist Theory put forward by Noam Chomsky and Slobin. While each one is different in it’s approach, they also have similarities. Below is a color coded matrix to explain the theories as well as the similarities and differences between each theory: | Environmentalist | Constructivist | Nativist | Environmentalist | * The caregiver plays the most important role in language development. * The child learns language by imitation, reinforcement, and conditioning. * How much language the child knows is determined by the amount and quality of language s/he is exposed to.
Prior to analyzing human development through the scientific study, philosophers offered theories to explain age related differences observed in individuals of different ages. Many of these theories continue to influence the field of human development and many Western beliefs in practiced today, originated from those theories (Boyd & Bee, 2006). This paper will consider human development in the areas of prenatal, infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood. Developmental theories pertaining to the various stages of development will be explored as will the affect early stages have on later development. Finally, this future clinician will attempt to evaluate how the knowledge learned in this class will influence planning inventions in her specialization of clinical psychology.
(P3[3]) 2. Explain the potential differences in the care needs of individuals at different life stages (P4[4]). [pic] Task 3 1. Continuing on P1, describe the key aspects of physical, intellectual, emotional and social development that takes place during the life stages (M1[5]) 2. Case Study: Susan Boyle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_boyle) Explain how winning on the X-Factor has affected the self-concept of Susan Boyle.
IB Psychology 1 H435-2 Erikson’s psychological theory of psychosocial development in adolescents has been supported and disputed, showing many strengths and weaknesses, by a multitude of case studies most specifically Rutter et al and Espin et al. Erikson’s theory describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan and shows how he believes that personality develops in a series of eight different stages. Each stage in Erikson’s theory is concerned with becoming competent in an area of life and experiencing a conflict that serves as a turning point in development. He believes that if the “stage” is handled well, the person will feel a sense of mastery but if the stage is handled poorly, the person will emerge with a sense of inadequacy. In Erikson’s view he sees these conflicts centered around developing a psychological quality or failing to develop that quality.
The publication of Harlow’s 1868 report of Gages personality change was very significant, because it coincided with other reports from other neurologists on the effects of specific lessons on behavior. Like stated before all aspects of cognition take place in the brain, and missing pieces of certain parts of the brain or having partially developed parts of the brain can and most likely will affect many of the aspects of cognition and even mere
My favorite discussion was Week 2 Discussion 1. In this discussion we explained the specific impacts of parenting styles related to child development. This discussion opened up numerous issues concerning parenting styles and the outcomes into adulthood. This discussion helped me see more clearer that sometimes it is not the parenting styles that make a big difference in a child. Sometimes a child can have the best up-bringing and still be influenced by bad peers.
The Legislative and Litigation History of Special Education. The Future Of Children, 6(1), 25. This article discusses the fact that public education was not always available to disabled students and that the laws have changed in favor of protecting the students and providing them with the best possible education. This article discusses the many different laws as well as court cases that have led special education to where it is today. McAfee, J. K., & Greenawalt, C. (2001).
The older teens were found to use fewer neurons and begin using other regions of the brain to solve tasks. Synaptic pruning is the elimination of unnecessary connections between neurons, and Jay Giedd shows the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex which controls the impulses and undergoes this process. This process makes way for more efficient transmission of nerve impulses. Both pruning and myelin (insulation) are important for improved brain function. Because of this the prefrontal cortex is able to
