What is Cognitive Output Disorder?
Cognitive output disorders involve difficulties with effectively connecting what you know with how you are able to demonstrate that knowledge. Oftentimes it involves trouble getting on paper what you know. Do you have thoughts that are much better expressed in verbal form rather than written, whether it’s a note to the boss or an assignment from a teacher? Generally, it involves difficulty with smoothly and quickly integrating or coordinating what you know with how you are able to express (output) it. Output mechanisms include both speech and writing. Recent technological advances have created effective ways to overcome this problem. What is a Language Processing Problem? A language processing difficulty involves not being able to understand ongoing speech. Someone may know what each word means, but is unable to follow the overall meaning. Oftentimes, children struggle with school learning because of language processing problems. This can affect both receptive and expressive abilities.
