Patients with age associated memory impairment will not benefit from therapy.

Lewy body dementia is biologically/pathologically related to Parkinson's disease.

___ is dementia related to severe alcohol abuse.

__ is a method of learning and retrieving information by recalling it over increasingly longer periods of time.

Dementia is a ___ condition, meaning there is a slow fade of function.

Dementia is characterized by a constellation of symptoms.

Errorless learning involves correcting the patient when they make a mistake.

A person in the early stage of dementia is disoriented to time and place.

Lewy body dementia involves persistent and complex visual hallucinations.

A person with late stage dementia is disoriented to person, place, and time.

Up to 1/3 of people who have a stroke will exhibit dementia within 6 months.

GDS 7 is severe/late dementia.

Alzheimer's involves the accumulation of ___ and ___

__ is loss of semantic knowledge due to anterior temporal lobe atrophy, greater in the language dominant hemisphere

Memory impairment is required for a diagnosis of vascular dementia.

A person in the middle stage of dementia can make relevant on-topic statements during conversation.

Patients with severe dementia should work on Montessori tasks.

Early symptoms of FTLD develop in one of three domains, which are:

AAC training for PPA should wait until after significant cognitive deficits emerge.

GDS 2 is...

A person in the middle stage of dementia does not require assistance with ADLs.
