A negative effect of the ageing population is that more individuals
are experiencing cognitive decline and some form of
neurodegenerative disease. With the number of people experiencing
dementia likely to double in the next 20 years, this change in
society presents one of greatest challenges facing public health
personnel in the 21st century. The aim of this volume is to
describe research that is in progress, and the major findings that
have been obtained in the scientific study of dementia. The
chapters in the first section of the book focus upon early signs of
dementia, and consider several approaches to finding early
cognitive signs and biological markers of dementia. The second
section considers whether dementia is inevitable for people who
become very old, and features chapters on risk factors and
proactive influences, cognitive reserve and intervention. Each
chapter in the final section describes phenomena which are related
to differences in function between memory systems, including
anterograde memory in fronto-temporal dementia, and the role
semantic memory and semantic cognition may play in developing an
understanding of the development of the degenerative processes in
dementia. With contributions from world-class researchers in this
area, the volume offers a concise overview of key findings in
recent research on dementia and memory. It will be of great
interest to researchers and advanced students of cognitive
psychology, and to those working in related fields, such as
gerontology, rehabilitation sciences, and allied health.
