In 1998, PVM's performance was below expectation for estimated premorbid abilities in the domains of motor skills and short and long-term memory.
Similarly, individual differences in domains of cognitive ability are well established (Carroll & Maxwell, 1979; Cattell, 1963; Horn & Cattell, 1966) and correlate with performance in academic domains (Deary, Strand, Smith, & Fernandes, 2007; Shah & Miyake, 1996; Wai, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2005, 2009).
The information contained within this toolkit can increase awareness of potential problems in domains of health, ability, attitudes, and behaviors.
One way to investigate the cognitive and neural underpinnings of speech perception is by investigating patients with speech perception deficits but with preserved ability in other domains of language.
This finding demonstrates the impact that ASD can have on the family regardless of varying abilities in discrete domains, and the importance of service access that is not based on impairment or functional ability in specific domains.
On the other hand, techniques usually associated with cognitive rehabilitation, such as using strategies to optimize residual cognitive abilities in impaired domains and making the most of unimpaired cognitive abilities, lend themselves more to compensatory approaches.
A curriculum checklist was completed for each child at the commencement of the intervention to establish the child's current level of abilities in each of these domains across the four levels, and the next more advanced skills that were not yet a regular part of the child's repertoire became treatment objectives for their one-to-one intervention.
(iv) The Health Utilities Index (HUI) is a multi-attribute system that classifies an individual's functional ability in eight domains (attributes) of health: vision, hearing, speech, ambulation, dexterity, cognition, emotion and pain.
Across a range of disorders within both typical and atypical development, research has suggested that individual differences in early AC/WM, along with the related domain of processing speed, correlate with subsequent learning abilities in a range of different domains.
Clearly, global insults in brain function impair one's ability to perform in many domains of cognitive testing, and this manner of impairment can be reversed with clinical improvement in general brain function (Knights et al, 1991; Mandleberg and Brooks, 1975; Mayes et al, 1989; White et al, 1986).
