| Annotation | Rather than provide answers in their consideration of age-related changes in cognitive function, the authors aim to stimulate thought, suggesting that there may be alternative approaches to our understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias. Their paper discusses assessment of cognition, the relevance of age-related changes in cognition to the diagnosis of dementia, and possible reasons for the difficulty in identifying early dementia and its causes.
