Unit 365 1.1) There are many different types of dementia and causes of dementia. The first cause is Alzheimer’s disease‚ which is caused by nerve cells dying in certain areas of the brain. This therefore also affects the connection between the affected nerve cell causing them to deteriorate. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. Vascular dementia is the first form of dementia‚ which is caused by damage to the brain through deprivation of oxygenated blood. If areas of the

FUNCTIONS OF THE BRAIN ARE AFFECTED BY DEMENTIA You do not have to become an expert on the brain to be a good dementia health care worker. However‚ having a basic awareness of the brain’s functioning may help you to understand some of the difficulties a person with dementia is experiencing. It can also help to explain some of the behaviours you may find challenging and difficult to comprehend. The level of damage taking place in the brain (‘neurological impairment’) will vary from one person to another

MEMORY PROCESSES We have already looked at the different stages of memory formation (from perception to sensory memory to short-term memory to long-term memory) in the section on Types of Memory. This section‚ however‚ looks at the overall processes involved. Memory is the ability to encode‚ store and recall information.

It’s not only the brain’s main function‚ but is also used everyday without us noticing: we acquire new information‚ store it‚ retain it and might retrieve it if needed. It’s thanks to memory and its three main stages: encoding‚ storage and retrieval‚ that humans can operate and recall events and information on a daily basis with no difficulty or effort whatsoever. In 1960‚ it was claimed that there
