input
Awareness - ✔✔Ability to perceive or to be sensitive to stimuli in environment
Attention - ✔✔Ability to focus on a particular area of conscious content
Memory - ✔✔Retention and recall of past experiences and learning
Declarative memory - ✔✔Ability to consciously learn and recall information, memory
providing long- term storage of large amounts of information

maintained and manipulated
Procedural memory - ✔✔Retention and retrieval of motor skills
Executive function - ✔✔Higher thinking processes that allow for flexibility, adaptability, and
goal- directedness
