Cognitive vs Behavioural Difficulties

[perpetual]

In the 2009 TSSM Unit 3 exam, one question asks for two cognitive and two behavioural difficulties someone with brain damage in their right hemisphere might experience. What are examples of each? I don't know exactly what sort of functions apply to behavioural, and what applies to cognitive.

cognitive functions are stuff like inability to write creatively, maths problem solving etc. They involve thinking (cognitive) functions.
Behavioral functions are stuff like inability to kick a ball using left leg.

The answer above is just to distinguish between behavioral and cognitive functions, it doesn't answer your question specifically.
To answer your question you need to first think about what the right hemisphere is involved in (i don't remember this sorry ) then list the ones that are cognitive and behavioral. I remember one hemisphere was math/analytical type and the other creative/music type but i don't remember what corresponds to what...

hope this helps somewhat

When I think of brain damage in right hemisphere, I immediately think of spatial neglect, since this typically occurs from damage to the posterior region of the right parietal lobe (by the way;))

Cognitive:
* difficulty in spatial and visual thinking tasks: visualising a location, completing a jigsaw puzzle, tracing directions on map
* difficulty in recognizing emotions of people from body language

Behavioural:
* difficulty in controlling voluntary bodily movements from the left side of the body
* difficulty in processing sensory information from the left hand side of body
Cognitive can be linked to anything that involves thinking about something - or colloquially where you have to 'use your brain'
Behavioural can be linked to anything that involves bodily action or movement
