4. SENSORIUM
The sensorium is that place where you are aware that you are
aware.
FUNCTION
Registers current internal and external contingencies
Relates current internal and external stimuli to our
memories and to our future hopes and desires
5. Invests the streams of afferent stimuli with emotion,determines
their significance and assigns priority whether to attend or
neglect
Proposes various actions and their consequences
Directs the motor system in the actual behaviors that achieve
personal survival and satisfaction
It allows us to experience life as a conscious process with a past
present and future to respond appropriately
6. Parts of sensorium
Consciousness
Attention span
Orientation
Memory
Fund of information
Insight,judgement and planning
10. AGNOSIA
It is the inability to understand the meaning, import, or
symbolic sihgnificance of ordinary sensory stimuli even
though the sensory pathways and sensorium are relatively
intact
11. Types of Agnosia

12. APRAXIA
It means the inability to perform a voluntary act even though
the motor system sensory system and mental status are
relatively intact
13. Types of Apraxia

Constructional apraxia
Dressing apraxia
Gait apraxia
Global apraxia in children
14. SPEECH DISORDERS
APHASIA:- it means the ability to understand or express
words as symbols for communication,even though the
primary sensorimotor pathways to receive and express
language and the mental status are relatively intact
