Summary
This study developed and validated the English version of Cog-First, a tablet-based cognitive screening tool for acquired brain injuries (ABI). The tool showed feasibility and high satisfaction among ABI patients, aiding in detecting cognitive deficits.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Cognitive Psychology
- Rehabilitation Medicine
Background:
- Acquired brain injuries (ABI) often cause persistent cognitive impairments, hindering patient outcomes.
- Early and precise cognitive screening is vital for effective ABI management.
- Cog-First is a 20-minute tablet-based self-assessment for executive functions, memory, and attention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop the English version of the Cog-First cognitive assessment tool.
- To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of Cog-First in individuals with ABI.
- To explore the relationship between Cog-First and MoCA scores in the ABI population.
Main Methods:
- A two-phase study involving translation, cultural adaptation, and exploratory comparison.
- Phase 1: Rigorous translation and cultural adaptation of Cog-First.
- Phase 2: Exploratory comparison of Cog-First and MoCA scores in individuals with ABI.
Main Results:
- The English version of Cog-First was successfully developed and culturally adapted.
- Practitioners found Cog-First highly relevant and applicable, with 90% agreement on sub-tests.
- Approximately 90% of ABI participants reported high satisfaction; Cog-First scores correlated with MoCA scores (p=0.037, r=0.46).
Conclusions:
- The English Cog-First is feasible and acceptable for individuals with ABI.
- Cog-First shows potential for enhancing the detection of subtle cognitive deficits post-ABI.
- Further research is needed to establish psychometric properties, normative data, and clinical utility.

01:25Cognitive Therapy
Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...
01:26Metacognition
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...
01:20Introduction to Cognitive Psychology
Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology dedicated to examining how people think. It attempts to explain how and why we think the way we do by studying the interactions among human thinking, emotion, creativity, language, and problem-solving, as well as other cognitive processes. Cognitive psychology studies how information is processed and manipulated in remembering, thinking, and knowing.

01:20Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.

01:21Cognitive Learning
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

01:30Cognitive Development During Adulthood
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...
