Targeted cognitive skills
- Short Term Memory: The ability to the reproduce, recognise, or recall a limited amount of material after a period of about 10 to 30 seconds.
- Working Memory: The ability to hold information in consciousness for adaptive use. This can include information from all sensory modalities, verbal and nonverbal ones. Working memory is conceptualized to include two separable components: maintenance of information and manipulation of information. Maintenance of information includes memory for verbal information, spatial information and other information (including emotional) across multiple sensory channels. Manipulation of information is the process of operating on information stored in working memory storage.
- Decision making: The cognitive process of choosing between two or more alternatives, ranging from the relatively clear cut (e.g., ordering a meal at a restaurant) to the complex (e.g., selecting a mate).
- Inhibition: The process of restraining one’s impulses or behavior, either consciously or unconsciously, due to factors such as lack of confidence, fear of consequences, or moral qualms.
- Logical reasoning: Logical or deductive reasoning involves using a given set of facts or data to deduce other facts by reasoning logically. It involves drawing specific conclusions based on premises.
