visual + verbal attention PDF

Packet #25

Attention

We designed this packet to stimulate visual skills related to verbal attention. The goal of this packet is to engage all aspects related to verbal and visual attention skills. We believe Verbal and visual attention skills are essential to all cognitive functions, especially those around social cognition and language. This packet will start by challenging your patients with two different adaptations of our digital exercise Private Eye. In this first exercise, your patient will have to find perfect circles. The following exercise will challenge their ability to recognize the correlation between words and their meaning to determine which words do not belong. The following exercise is a modification of Elephant Memory. This modification requires your patient to study a scene and answer questions.

The last two exercises are focused directly on verbal attention. This last section starts with an adaption of Restaurant. This adaption aims to engage your patient’s ability to compare and contrast two recipes. Looking side by side, your patient will identify what was different between the recipes. Finally, your patient will have to read a passage and find the typos and errors in this modified version of This Story is Full of Blanks.

This packet is an excellent resource for teachers who want to challenge their students’ ability to process visual-verbal information. Therapists have also used this packet to help stimulate patients with brain injuries that affect their verbal attention skills or aphasia.

Included Inside: 13 pages and bridging questions.

This packet will start by focusing on individuals and their emotions. Your patient must recognize emotions in each person’s face to correctly pick them out from the word box.

This will use help to engage their verbal working memory. Lastly, your patient will have to do 3 different variations of root it out. The first is an unscrambled version. The second is a fill-in-the-missing letter. The last exercise is like the digital exercise Root it Out, except your patient must recall emotion-based words that start with a given letter.

The digital exercises that inspired this worksheet

Secret Files

This exercise primarily targets concentration, working memory, and executive functioning skills. These cognitive skills are heavily used when we are problem solving. Because your client must use some degree of trial and error, they must remember which attempts were successful as well as which ones were not. They must then devise strategies that help them remember the category of each drawer and what words correspond to each category. We use these skills when we have to organize items in our home in a way that makes them accessible to us and presentable.

Try this digital exercise for FREE!

Chunking

Highly visual, this exercise targets your client’s ability to remember the objects they have seen and their location in space. Paying attention to the features of the objects presented and their location engages the hippocampus, frontal lobe, and both the ventral and visual processing pathways.

Try this digital exercise for FREE!

Restaurant

Many situations in real-life demand the correct pairing of information to an individual’s identity, like remembering which healthcare provider corresponds to which specialty. Other situations these skills are important are for when someone has guests over and one guest has an allergy or a preference for a food item. Using attention, working memory, and name recognition, your client will learn to create meaningful associations with multiple pieces of information.

Try this digital exercise for FREE!

This Story is Full of Blanks!

Using context clues given in text, your client must complete a passage by correctly filling in the blanks with the right words. In situations where we encounter ambiguities, we must use knowledge we have at present in order to solve problems. Examples of situations where using context clues is important for problem solving include “reading a room” of people and reading a text where one may encounter unfamiliar words.
