Functional Cognition: Distinct From Fluid and Crystallized Cognition?

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This study provides important and timely evidence for establishing functional cognition as a unique construct that is distinct from executive function as well as from fluid and crystallized cognition. Functional cognition is central to performance in daily activities, and its use will ensure that occupational therapy services support continued recovery and community reintegration. What This Article Adds: This study supports occupational therapy professionals in establishing the profession's role in evaluating and treating deficits of functional cognition to support patients' return to desired occupations in the family, workplace, and community.PMID:37253182 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2023.050010
