Cognitive Impairments Cognitive impairments are any limitations in the ability to think or reason that affect a person's capacity to perform a task. Cognitive impairments can be congenital or the result of a head injury, stroke, or disease. Head injuries in particular can result in very localized damage, producing highly-specific problems.
Many cognitive impairments are quite common, such as attention difficulties and dyslexia.
Cognitive impairments are often less observable and well-defined than other types of impairments, so it is helpful to consult a doctor or learning specialist to help clarify the exact nature of the impairment. Used, for instance, in a medical setting to remind clinicians of necessary tests or interventions. Useful especially to people with memory impairments. Repetitive stress injuries can also result from excessive repeated movement with little variation, such as typing and using a mouse. Damage occurs to soft body tissues, such as tendons and nerves.
