Cognition

Attention, Concentration & Memory

This resource is about how damage to certain parts of the brain can affect your attention, concentration and memory. 

Cognition is the way we use our brains to think and learn. If the brain is damaged our thinking skills can be affected. 

At first these problems may not be as obvious as physical or speech problems, but often the cognitive changes make it much harder to get back to work, to do everyday things and socialise. 

How can cognitive problems affect a person in everyday life?
