The goal to meet the needs of fake student, Rizzo Lizo, are: In order to be able to be successful in the 5th grade, Rizzo will be able to go from remembering one word and number in sequence to remembering three words and numbers in sequence, as measured by monitoring and charting progress In order to be successful in the 5th grade, Rizzo will be able to say two syllable words with fluidity from 30% of time to 50% of the time, as measured by monitoring and charting progress The first goal helps the student to improve his short term memory. Sublette writes goals that focus on taking multiple items and remembering one of them (Sublette, n.d.). The goal above takes one item and increases the instance of it. Using Sublette’s goal increases the rigor after the student has learned to increase his or her memory capacity. The National Dissemination Center (NICHCY) states that one of the areas that students with traumatic brain injuries suffers is in memory (NICHCY, 2012). Memory is important because it is the building block of learning. Without remembering knowledge, there is no point in learning new information. Interestingly, Jasmin notes that a common treatment for mild to moderate memory loss is cognitive therapy which is usually done through a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) (Jasmin, 2013). This indicates that the majority of Rizzo’s services should be through the SLP. Therefore, the reason why this is an important goal is because it can expand the work that the SLP is doing inside of the classroom. The second goal focuses on speech. NICHCY states that one of the areas that students with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) struggle in is talking (NICHCY, 2012). This would make sense if the child with the TBI received an injury in Broca’s area. Damage to Broca’s area causes aphasia. However, Chudler also notes that damage to the arcuate fasciculus (a bundle of fibers
Broca's Aphasia occurs from damage to the inferior frontal gyrus and affects speech production, which is why it is sometimes referred to as "non-fluent aphasia." People with Broca's aphasia are completely aware of their inability to produce speech fluently, so they often become frustrated.
While the early neurological model of language broke away from the ideas of phrenology and offered a new framework for neuropsychological research, it had numerous shortcomings. It was not able to account for the fact that people with Broca’s aphasia (also known as non-fluent, expressive or agrammatic aphasia) had a variety of ostensibly diverse impairments or that some people with focal Broca’s area damage did not show agrammatic aphasia (Bookheimer, 2002).
The neuroanatomical approach to aphasia relies on the localization of lesions on the brain in addition to clinical observation in order to classify patients according to syndromes. For example, according to the neuroanatomical approach, Broca’s aphasia, which us usually associated with a lesions on the posterior inferior frontal gyrus of the brain, has cardinal features that distinguish is from other fluent and non-fluent aphasias (e.g. poor repetition, poor repetition and poor naming with good auditory comprehension).
Memory can be defined as the mental system for receiving, encoding, storing, organising, altering and retrieving information (Coon & Mitterer, 2012). Many a time one is able to remember something, example how to drive a car, yet they are unable to remember a mathematical formula for an examination. People vary in their ability to remember certain things, and research conducted has proven that even infants differ in their memory abilities (Fagan & Singer, 1963). It was discovered by psychologists that memory is not static, but rather it is influenced by ones internal factors and situational happenings to a large effect (Huffman, Vernoy & Vernoy, 1997). This essay will attempt to discover which method of study is most suitable, by listing and explaining various memory strategies, as well as indicating how each method will improve memory efficiency. The process of memory is made up of three operations. The first being Encoding, this is the conversion of information into a form which enables it to be retained in memory (Coon & Mitterer, 2012). The second operation is called Storage, this is the keeping of information until it is later needed. The third and final operation is known as Retrieval, and this is the recovering of information from Storage (Hoeksema, Fredrickson, Loftus & Wagenaar, 2009). These formerly mentioned operations each represent a stage in the process of memory (Sternberg & Sternberg, 2012).
Aphasia is an acquired communication disorder that disrupts communication and it can deteriorate a person’s coping potential and quality of life (Parr, 2001) which involve damage to the parts of brain that contain language (ASHA, 2013). Statistics from United States indicated around 25-40% of stroke survivors developed aphasia (National Association of Aphasia, NAA, 2013). Aphasia will affect both the ability to produce or comprehend spoken language and written language while intelligence is left intact (NAA, 2013). In US, it is found that the most common cause of aphasia is stroke (85%) and others including Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), brain tumor or other degenerative diseases (NAA, 2013).
Common forms of major damage are strokes, concussions, brain tumors, viral/bacterial damage, and drug-related damage. The three major linguistic disorders that result from these injuries are aphasia, alexia, and agraphia. Aphasia is the inability to speak, and can be caused by damage to Broca's area or the motor cortex. Alexia is the inability to read, which can arise from damage to Wernicke's area, among other places. Agraphia is the inability to write which can also arise from damage to Broca's area or the motor cortex. In addition, damage to large areas of the brain can result in any combinations of these disorders, as well as a loss of other
We will pay five hundred New Haven men to help us complete a scientific study of memory and learning. The study is being done at Yale University. “Each person who participates will be paid $4.00 (plus 50¢ carfare) for approximately 1 hour’s time. We need you for only one hour: there are no further obligations. You may choose the time you would like to co...
Thus, adding full recall from the second stage of the Stage-Specific model increases client awareness of the traumatic event through involving all five senses he/she can remember from that event.

First, the Broca’s area falls under the association area of the cortex. The Broca’s area is located in the left frontal lobe of the brain. The main focus of the Broca’s area is designated for the production of speech. Meaning, when people speak it will come out smoothly and fluently. So when you are with your friends the Broca’s area is making sure you are socializing and is allowing you to smoothly communicate with others.
Memory is vital to the functioning and even the survival of humans. Without memory, we could never learn from our experience and we would operate meaninglessly, without plans or goals. Motor skills and language ability would be lost and even the sense of personal identity we all have would be absent. There are many different factors that contribute to memory failures but there are also ways to improve it.
The goal of this therapy is to focus on the past traumatic memories that are contributors of the traumatic problem, disturbing present situations and the necessary skills that could be beneficial to the client for the future (Shapiro, 2014). The focus of this therapy is to provide effective psychotherapy treatment without need to expose the client to detailed description of the traumatic event (Shapiro, 2014). Some of the other goals of this therapy is to strengthen positive beliefs, eradicate negative physical events, and ascertain skills needed for functioning and integrating learning (CEBC, 2015).
In physiological terms, Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia occur in the left hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for controlling the right side of the body along with speech and language abilities. Broca's aphasia affects the frontal lobe adjacent to the primary motor cortex, and Wernicke's aphasia affects the posterior portion of the first frontal lobe (3). A general distinction made between the two disorders are that Broca's aphasia limits speech, while Wernicke's aphasia limits comprehension.
Traumatic brain injury or TBI occurs when a child has a head injury that causes damage to the brain. These injuries can be caused from being hit in the head or violently shaken. The results of TBI can change how a person’s brain develops, how they act, move, and think. It can also affect how they learn in school (NICHCY, 2012). TBI can affect the way a child thinks, retains information, attention span, behavior, speech, physical activities (which includes walking), and the way a child learns.
Learning and memory are fascinating. The world could not function without either. They both are used in many different fashions in a wide variety of places. Learning and Memory have been carefully studied by professionals but are also well known and used by the common people on a daily basis. I am one of those common people, a student who is constantly learning and making the most of my memory. Since enrolling in The Psychology of Learning and Memory class I have come to the realization that I encounter situations in my life that exemplify the very concepts I have studied. I have also learned that it is beneficial to apply the lessons learned in class to my everyday life. Positive reinforcement, learned helplessness and serial recall are a few among many of the learning and memory models that have come to action in my life and in my final reflections surrounding the course.
