Abstract:
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, which mainly affects cognitive functions such as memory, executive functions, working memory, lexical access and attention. In this study, the affected cognitive functions in AD patients are evaluated using tests of forward digits, reverse digits, phonetic verbal fluency, and semantic verbal fluency. The objective is to determine if exposure to nature images can have a beneficial effect compared to urban images in relation to these affected cognitive functions.
