Abstract

The cognitive functioning of human beings declines over time.

The decline, however, varies from person to person. While some elders face minor challenges such as poor memory and lack of focus, others can suffer from sever ailments such as depression, Alzheimer’s syndrome, and dementia. The steady decline in cognitive ability ...
