    Faculty, Clinicians, and Students

    Abstract:

    The rehabilitation hospital setting is often different from acute care facilities in terms of the demands placed on patients to become more active participants in their recovery. Patients healing from brain injuries, musculoskeletal conditions, orthopedic trauma, or surgical procedures are expected to expend some effort in their rehabilitation therapies which may include physical, occupational, speech, and/or other therapies often aimed at achieving a higher level of functional independence.

    Because it is central to the medical rehabilitation model, patient involvement in therapy can have a profound impact on rehabilitation outcomes. This lecture will explore the concept of therapeutic engagement from a theoretical standpoint, discuss its measurement, and consider potential barriers and facilitators that could be accounted for in order to maximize benefits of treatment in the rehabilitation setting.

    Biography:

    Anthony Lequerica, Ph.D. received his B.S. in Psychology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and both his M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology (specialization in Neuropsychology) from Wayne State University. He completed a two-year post-doctoral fellowship through the Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training Program at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

    He currently holds a dual position at The Kessler Foundation Research Center as a Neuropsychologist and Clinical Research Scientist where he continues to pursue his interests in rehabilitation research and clinical work involving neuropsychological assessment and psychotherapeutic intervention for individuals recovering from stroke and traumatic brain injury.

Omissions versus Commissions: Are Different Everyday Errors Meaningful for Understanding and Treating Functional Deficits?

    Relative to our understanding of the memory and language deficits associated with dementia, little is known about problems with everyday action performance (i.e., meal preparation, grooming).  Recent research suggested that omission (failure to perform a task step) and commission (inaccurate performance of a task step) errors may reflect dissociable aspects of action impairment that are predicted by different neuropsychological processes.  This research will be presented, along with evidence that contradicts the omission-commission model.  Finally, new findings on everyday action interventions informed by the omission-commission model will be discussed.

    Tania Giovannetti, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Temple University, with a joint appointment in Clinical Psychology and Brain and Cognitive Science Programs.
