Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 , First recommendation is always the same. Do an assessment and see what the brain looks like. This might be a good case to do a "drill-down" analysis of the front. In addition to the 5 standard site pairs, do 3 minutes at Fp1 and Fp2 and at F7 and F8. You can load those sites with the F3 and F4 and Fz and Oz into a second run of the assessment to "blow up" the frontal lobes. Second recommendation is to look beyond a single complaint. What besides short-term memory deficits are the issues that might be training objectives for this client? If the aneurism has been "fixed", then it's likely you'll find a spike of slow activity around the Fp2, F8 and F4 sites. Training that down may be very helpful, since those are areas where working memory is handled.

I've just started NF with Key in Charlottesville and this is my first post. :)We are working with a person who suffered from a brain aneurysm in the right frontal area and has retained perfect long-term memory function but is severely deficit in short-term memory. Any advise would be greatly appeciated.Thank you. Eure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Pete, Are you implying that most short term memory is in the right prefrontal areas, or that this would be the way to go for the particular patient with right side damage?

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Jon, Nope. I was saying that working memory does involve the prefrontal areas (among others) and, since there was clearly damage in one of those areas, training it might well have an impact on working memory. There wasn't much information about what sorts of working memory problems she was having. It there were a lot of theta/delta right -prefrontally, then I would certainly think it might be worth a shot at trying to train it to see what happened.
