What is cognitive brain damage?
Cognitive brain damage occurs when the injury of the right side of the brain negatively affects the thinking, reasoning and skills of social communication. Above all, the right side of the brain controls the ability of a person to think rationally, solve problems and process information. Short -term memory and interactive human behavior are also regulated by the right hemisphere of the brain. When the right side of the brain is injured, there is usually a significant reduction in some or all of these skills. The person could consider both stunning and simple problems. For example, he could have trouble inventing tasks that were once a second nature, such as how to change the bulb, operate a vehicle or solve a crossword puzzle. A person with cognitive brain damage may have difficulty in order or step -by -step instructions could easily frustrate or confused. Perhaps he will not be able to focus on detailed tasks and may have problems with processing information. Damage on the right side of the brain can also affect the short -term memory of a person, cIt makes it difficult to remember everyday events or recent information, which further affects its ability to learn and process information.
If an individual has cognitive brain damage, he may have difficulty communicating with others and respond appropriately in social situations. This person may not be able to follow the topic of conversation or respond with facial expressions or voice tone. For example, he can speak from turning, insert random comments, or laugh inApprirate points in the conversation.
Depending on the severity of damage to the right side of the brain, an individual with cognitive brain damage could neglect its physical left side. For example, this person does not have to clean his hair on the left, does not have to use the left side of the keyboard, or ignore the food on the left side of the plate. This generally occurs due to spatial disorientation and the individual does not recognize objects onthe left side of its perception.
In general, cognitive brain damage is caused by traumatic brain damage (TBI) or obtained brain damage (ABI). TBI is the result of external force, such as a blow to the head or blow. ABI is caused by internal factors such as tumor, aneurysm or lack of oxygen. Either way, the prognosis of rehabilitation and recovery depends primarily on the extent of the brain damage.
