• Cognitive speed • Alternating attention • Selective attention • Divided attention

• Sustained attention and concentration • Working memory • Memory • Praxis/motor planning and sequencing

• Executive controlled attention (less distractibility)

• Executive functions (self monitoring, self regulation of emotions/behavior, self correction, planning, anticipation, sequencing, organization)

• Language (auditory comprehension/complex syntax, word finding, written language, reading comprehension and speed)

• Speech intelligibility (self monitoring, pacing, timing, articulation) – better able to use strategies if needed due to improved cognition

• Better able to use compensation strategies as needed for memory, organization, etc due to improved cognitive skills (many times no longer needs compensation strategies after IM)
