Verbal Reasoning Activities and Questions

Verbal reasoning is the ability to comprehend and reason using concepts expressed through words. If someone lacks verbal reasoning skills, they will have difficulty understanding the meaning and concepts of words. Verbal reasoning can be impaired by stroke, brain injury, dementia, and psychiatric conditions. These skills allow someone to use written or spoken words to understand concepts and ideas expressed in the world.

Questions and activities are currently the primary methods of treatment for verbal reasoning deficits. The idea of this method is to test and challenge a person’s verbal logic and how successfully a patient can extract the correct meaning from written words. These days, more and more clinicians are starting to use computer-based activities and exercises like HappyNeuron Pro.

Why are computer-based verbal reasoning tools more effective than questions?

• Patients are more engaged because the activities are fun.
• Questions and tests become repetitive and easy.
• Progress is easier to track digitally than manually with pen and paper.
• Clinicians can assign work to do at home.
