stress, insufficient sleep, sedentary lifestyle

Risk Factors of AD you cannot control - ANS-family history of the disease, age, history
of head trauma, age of mother, having 2 copies of the type 4 allele of apolipoprotein E

Risk factors of AD you can control - ANS-smoking, obesity, diabetes, chronic stress

contribute to a conversation; often retain some social language; reading comprehension
impaired though many can read single words aloud.

Treatment approaches - ANS-NP principles: use to not lose; use and improve (SM and
LM includes repetition, minimization of errors, appropriate task complexity); learner
engagement (relevancy); elaborated encoding; use schemas. Use PM (conditioning,
priming) for new learning

treatment model - ANS-strengthen the knowledge and processes that have the potential
to improve; reduce demands on impaired cognitive systems; increase reliance on
spared systems; provide stimuli that evoke positive fact memory, action, and emotion.
