Abstract

|
The aim of this study was to introduce the concept of functional cognition to the clinical field of occupational therapy and to explain the process up to the appearance of functional cognition based on the historical context of occupational therapy and the process of changing cognitive concepts. In addition, it was attempted to examine the perspectives of occupational therapy clinical models for functional cognition and to explain the necessity of clinical application of functional cognition in occupational therapy. Functional cognition is historically based on holistic and occupation-based integrationism and conceptually influenced by situated cognition. Functional cognition is not a new theory, but a combination of occupational therapy theory and knowledge accumulated by professional experience. The concept of functional cognition includes various clinical models and frame of references of cognitive rehabilitation in occupational therapy. Functional cognition is the most occupational therapy-like concept of cognition in that it describes integrative cognition from the perspective of human occupation. Occupational therapists can evaluate real tasks in daily life through functional cognitive concepts and implement client-centered intervention in cognitive rehabilitation. Functional cognition is still constantly evolving. Therefore, functional cognition should be continuously studied and developed by occupational therapists who are experts in cognitive rehabilitation.
