Research Notes on Cognitive Changes in Alzheimer's

Cognitive changes in Alzheimer's are to be expected, since it is a progressive disease of the brain. Initially, memory loss is minimal, but as the disease progresses, memory continues to decline.1 Decision making, attentiveness, depression, anxiety, or becoming disoriented are other cognitive changes which occur in the person with Alzheimer’s.2

Fast Facts:

  • Forgetting the names of familiar people or places, or the words to express what they want to say are a few initial signs of Alzheimer's.2
  • Researchers are trying to identify changes in brain structures as early as possible to halt the progression of the disease before severe impairment takes place.3
  • There are seven stages of Alzheimer's beginning with stage 1 (no decline), to stage 7 (severe Alzheimer's).4
