Chapters & learning objectives
1. Evaluating Memory - Part 1
There are different purposes for which memory function may be evaluated. This course will present components of memory evaluations and how a given reason for an evaluation may influence the diagnostic process.
2. Evaluating Memory – Part 2
There are many memory tests on the market, and it is important to be able to distinguish among them when choosing what test to administer in any given situation. Using the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, impairment level and activity level options will be presented.
3. Evaluating Memory – Part 3
An evaluation should be tailored to each individual patient to fully characterize their memory. The importance of complementing standardized memory assessments with informal/non-standardized functional memory activities will be described.
