Generally, respondents understand this item. However, if clarification is requested, encourage the respondent to think about their concentration in usual circumstances, rather than when they are preoccupied by a problem or are in an unusually distracting environment. If necessary, prompt the respondent to think about their concentration while they were doing something such as work tasks, reading, writing, drawing, playing a musical instrument, assembling a piece of equipment, and so on.</p>\n</div></td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td style=\"white-space:nowrap\">\u00a0\u00a0D1.2<a name=\"whodas-20-cs-D1.462\"> </a></td><td>Remembering to do important things?</td><td><div><p>This is a question about remembering matters of day-to-day importance. It does not refer to remembering irrelevant content or detailed information from the past. Ask respondents how well they remember to do things that are important to them or to their family.

If respondents are unsure of what the item means, ask them to think about a problem they encountered in the past 30 days. Once a problem is identified, respondents should be asked to consider how well they:\n• identified that a problem existed\n• broke it down into manageable parts\n• developed a list of possible solutions\n• determined the pros and cons of each solution\n• determined the best solution given all considerations\n• executed and evaluated the chosen solution\n• selected an alternate solution if the first choice was not successful.</p>\n</div></td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td style=\"white-space:nowrap\">\u00a0\u00a0D1.4<a name=\"whodas-20-cs-D1.464\"> </a></td><td>Learning a new task, for example, learning how to get to a new place?</td><td><div><p>In this question, learning a new route is offered as an example.

If respondents state that they have more\ntrouble starting than maintaining a conversation (or vice versa), ask them to average the amount\nof difficulty experienced with both activities to determine the final difficulty rating.\nConversation includes use of whatever is the usual mode of communication (spoken, written,\nsign language, gestural). If respondents normally use assistive devices for communication,\nensure that the difficulty rating provided takes into account conversation while using those\ndevices.\nAsk respondents to consider any and all other factors related to a health condition and relevant\nto them in starting and maintaining a conversation.

This domain also includes questions about the impact of the health condition.\nThe introduction to this domain specifically reminds respondents that the focus of this interview is on the\npast 30 days.
