| Annotation | Studies of elementary cognitive functions in people with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) do not reveal a variety of intact remaining abilities. Elucidating the subjective experience of such persons is fundamentally important in (i) having a more informed understanding of the effects of AD on persons, and (ii) finding ways to enhance their quality of life regardless of where they live. Advantages of engaging people with Alzheimer's as research collaborators include: what we can learn about psychosocial aspects of their subjective experience; and how, by supporting aspects of their selfhood, we can enhance the quality of their lives.
