| Annotation | This article describes a case study of an older woman with mild dementia of the Alzheimer's type, who expressed an interest in restoring a family heirloom. She had a history of high levels of involvement in creative arts and crafts activities and was able to fully participate in this complicated arts project with assistance from the author. The primary cognitive disadvantage appeared to be associated with failures to carry out sub-goals as she painted the heirloom - which was presumably due to forgetting in short-term memory. Implications of these findings for individuals in the early stages of dementia are discussed. (AKM). |
