This episode explores the impact COVID can have on Executive functions. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), continued long term physical and cognitive symptoms may impact as many as 1 in 5 adult survivors of the illness.Study 1: The Lancet reported on a study: “Cognitive deficits in people that have recovered from covid-19”Cognitive problems have been reported:AttentionMemory, the ability to learn, store, retain, and later retrieve information.Executive function skills such as planning, focusing attention, remembering instructions, and juggling multiple tasks.Study 2: Journal of Brain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health: “Cognitive function following SARS-CoV-2 infection in a population-representative Canadian sample”Young and middle-aged adults who had COVID reported lingering symptoms of executive dysfunction based on self-reported and task-related indicators of cognitive function.Moderate or higher COVID-19 symptom severity are associated with significant symptoms of cognitive dysfunctionStudy 3: Nature Medicine: “Long Term Neurologic Outcomes for COVID -19”Neurological conditions occurred in 7% more people with COVID-19 compared with those who had not been infected with the virus.People who had COVID-19 were:43% more likely to develop mental health disorders35% more likely to experience mild to severe headaches30% more likely to have eye problems such as blurred vision, dryness and retinal inflammation22% more likely to develop hearing abnormalities such as tinnitus or ringing in the ears.vaccines slightly reduce — by about 20% — the risk of long-term brain problems.Effect on Executive functionsTrouble with memory – Working MemoryConstantly distracted - Inhibitory ControlRigid thinking - Cognitive FlexibilityStudy 4: Study: “Assessment of Cognitive Function in Patients After COVID-19 Infection” This study looked at predominant hospitalized patients and found a relatively high frequency of cognitive impairment several months after patients contracted COVID-19 in the areas ofexecutive functioningprocessing speedcategory fluencymemory encodingrecallStudy 5: At Harvard: “Rapid vigilance and episodic memory decrements in COVID-19 survivors”Study revealed some long-term positive outcomes for those that experienced EF problems.Recovery in memory within six monthsImprovement in attention within nine monthsSuggesting that some cognitive impairments with COVID, even if widespread, are potentially reversible.Links:Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte:https://www.buildingasecondbrain.com/ Cognitive function following SARS-CoV-2 infection in a population-representative Canadian samplehttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666354622000448 Assessment of Cognitive Function in Patients After COVID-19 Infectionhttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2785388   Rapid vigilance and episodic memory decrements in COVID-19 survivors https://academic.oup.com/braincomms/article/4/1/fcab295/6511053 COVID-19 infections increase risk of long-term brain problems:https://medicine.washu.edu/news/covid-19-infections-increase-risk-of-long-term-brain-problems The Lancet reported “Cognitive deficits in people that have recovered from covid-19” ​​https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(21)00324-2/fulltext Eclectic Learning Approach and Student Processing Inventory:https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/student-processing-inventory-2?_pos=2&_sid=bb241d1c7&_ss=r⁠⁠ A Workshop on Multisensory Teaching: Accommodating Each Learner's Best Ways of Processing: ⁠⁠https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/multisensory-learning-workshop Executive Functioning Assessment:https://mymemorymentor.com/efcs/ One to one sessions with Dr. Warren:https://learningtolearn.biz/ One to one sessions with Darius:www.ivvi.appBulletMap Academy:https://bulletmapacademy.com/Learning Specialist Courses:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/Executive functions and Study Skills Course:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies Good Sensory Learning:https://goodsensorylearning.com/Executive Functionings for Groups and Classes:https://tinyurl.com/4sx3eh3fhttps://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-games-for-groups-and-classes  Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: ⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠Cognitive Flexibility:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠Inhibitory Control:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioning?_pos=3&_sid=19d2b3888&_ss=r Visualization:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learning?_pos=8&_sid=a9d61809a&_ss=r Inner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app?_pos=1&_sid=604e0b13e&_ss=r Working Memory:https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/www.learningtolearn.bizhttps://dropintoyourbestself.com/

In this episode, Darius and Erica discuss the relationship between goals to executive functioning and how to make and execute them.We all know the importance of setting goals, but it would be intriguing and meaningful to see how our EF skills can help us or hinder us in making or achieving goals.Working MemoryHow can working memory affect goal setting?Darius’ little notes every morning on his goals for reminders‘50 first dates’ movie about having amnesia.About remembering everything that’s importantIdentifyClarifyRememberConscious decision to remind yourselfvisual blinkersverbal blinkersHow to make a goalBreaking goals into micro or mini goals   - Manage little chunks   - Not get used to adrenaline boost of the last minute (like an addiction)   - The drama triangleWriting goals in the past tense   - Vision boardsMaking goal visual/spatial   - Feel what it feels like to achieve your goals   - Create a map     - Establishes pathway     - Routemap of successUse Ai or social media - algorithms to help us change our focus visually and verbally   - Social media algorithm that you can choose to work with us.The drama triangle- three actorsVictimRescuerPersecutorStep out of the drama triangleHow does Darius make a goal:The power of writing goals in the past tenseLinksAlan Baddeley’s Model of Working Memory:https://study.com/academy/lesson/baddeleys-model-of-working-memory.html 50 first dates movie:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_First_Dates The Drama Triangle:https://leadershiptribe.com/the-drama-triangle-explained Tiktok algorithm:https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/oct/23/tiktok-rise-algorithm-popularity  Vision boards:https://www.oprahdaily.com/life/a29959841/how-to-make-a-vision-board/ Eclectic Learning Approach and Student Processing Inventory:https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/student-processing-inventory-2?_pos=2&_sid=bb241d1c7&_ss=r⁠⁠ A Workshop on Multisensory Teaching: Accommodating Each Learner's Best Ways of Processing: ⁠⁠https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/multisensory-learning-workshop Executive Functioning Assessment:https://mymemorymentor.com/efcs/ One to one sessions with Dr. Warren:https://learningtolearn.biz/ One to one sessions with Darius:www.ivvi.appBulletMap Academy:https://bulletmapacademy.com/Learning Specialist Courses:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/Executive functions and Study Skills Course:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies Good Sensory Learning:https://goodsensorylearning.com/Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: ⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠Cognitive Flexibility:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠Inhibitory Control:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioning?_pos=3&_sid=19d2b3888&_ss=r Metacognition:https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/teaching-metacognitive-skills?_pos=1&_sid=8c4ed9b58&_ss=r Visualization:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learning?_pos=8&_sid=a9d61809a&_ss=r Inner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app?_pos=1&_sid=604e0b13e&_ss=r Working Memory:https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/www.learningtolearn.bizhttps://dropintoyourbestself.com/
