This profile identifies executive dysfunction linked with preserved cognitive ability, suggesting new management strategies for impaired volitional access.
Key Points
To define and recognize Volitional Dysregulation with Cognitive Preservation (VDCP) as a distinct clinical condition.
Characterization of VDCP features
Analysis of the relationship between cognitive intent and executive activation
Modeling management strategies using the Environmental Container Model (ECM)
VDCP presents with intact cognitive functions but impaired initiation of tasks
Relationship established between cognitive preservation and environmental signal density
Proposes ECM as a management approach for individuals with VDCP
