What are cognitive problems?
Cognitive problems are specific skill deficits that may occur following a brain injury. Some of the most common cognitive problems are: • Arousal or over-stimulation • Attention and filtering • Information coding and retrieval (memory) • Learning, both using old information and acquiring new information • Problem Solving • Higher-level thinking skills known as executive skills. Some cognitive problems clear over time and through rehabilitation, while others may persist and require specific rehabilitation interventions. There is a relationship between cognitive problems and neurobehavioural problems.
