Targeted cognitive skills
- 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.
- Focused Attention: The concentration on certain stimuli in the environment and not on others, enabling important stimuli to be distinguished from peripheral or incidental ones.
- Reading: The learned mental process of decoding and understanding information or ideas represented in visual or tactile form.
