Chapters & learning objectives
1. Current Research on Attentional and Communication Impairments Associated With Right-Hemisphere Stroke
Chapter 1 provides an update of new research on right-hemisphere organization for attention and left hemispatial neglect. It also covers impairments associated with right-hemisphere stroke that affect communication.
2. Current Research on Executive Function Impairment Associated With Right-Hemisphere Stroke
Chapter 2 provides an overview of right-hemisphere organization for social cognition and executive functions, including issues with theory of mind (ToM), error monitoring, self-regulation, and organization. It also covers communication disorders, including pragmatic and social communication problems. These regulatory and social communication skills are essential for personal and avocational independence.
3. Review of Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches for Visuospatial Neglect After Right-Hemisphere Stroke
Chapter 3 covers interdisciplinary evidence-based interventions, including visual scanning therapy (VST), computerized VST, and action observation. These interventions have been shown to enhance communication skills and independence in activities of daily living.
