Read the first 7 Foundations and Theoretical Frameworks flashcards as text

  1. Which theoretical framework emphasizes the dynamic interaction between the person, environment, and occupation in influencing occupational performance?

    Answer: Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) Model

    The PEO Model specifically focuses on the transactional relationship among the person, their environment, and their occupations as the determinants of occupational performance.

  2. Gary Kielhofner developed which occupation-based model that uses concepts of volition, habituation, and performance capacity?

    Answer: Model of Human Occupation (MOHO)

    MOHO, developed by Gary Kielhofner, organizes occupational behavior around volition (motivation), habituation (patterns), and performance capacity.

  3. The Kawa (River) Model of occupational therapy was developed primarily to reflect the values and worldview of which cultural context?

    Answer: Japanese

    The Kawa Model was developed by Michael Iwama and colleagues in Japan to reflect a collectivist, non-Western worldview where life is conceptualized as a river.

  4. In the Ecology of Human Performance (EHP) framework, which intervention approach involves altering the task or environment to support performance?

    Answer: Adapt/Modify

    The Adapt/Modify approach in EHP involves changing task demands or contextual features to support the person's performance without changing the person's skills.

  5. Which frame of reference is MOST appropriate when an OT is working to improve a client's sensory processing and integration to support participation?

    Answer: Sensory Integration Frame of Reference

    The Sensory Integration Frame of Reference, developed by A. Jean Ayres, addresses how the brain processes sensory information to support adaptive behavior and participation.

  6. The biomechanical frame of reference in OT focuses primarily on which aspect of client function?

    Answer: Range of motion, strength, and endurance

    The biomechanical frame of reference addresses impairments in ROM, strength, and endurance that affect a client's ability to perform occupations.

  7. Which occupational therapy model uses the metaphor of 'doing, being, becoming, and belonging' to describe the dimensions of occupation?

    Answer: Wilcock's Occupational Perspective of Health

    Ann Wilcock articulated 'doing, being, becoming, and belonging' as interconnected dimensions that describe the breadth and depth of human occupation.
