Can Alzheimer's Patients Read Your Face
I can say this with confidence. You have a much better chance of having a good day if you get it started with a smile.
Can a person that is deeply forgetful read your face? Most of the scientific evidence says no. I agree, I don't think they can.
Think of it this way. When you know someone well can you read their face? Probably.
Sometimes when I first see a person I know well, I say what is wrong? I ask before they say a single word. How do I know something is wrong? By the look on their face. Maybe they don't feel well, maybe they just received some bad news, or maybe they are troubled by something. I can tell this by looking at their face. I bet you can do it too.
Test Your Memory for Dementia in 15 Minutes (SAGE)
The research from this Alzheimer's memory test, Self-Administered Geocognitive Examination (SAGE), shows that four out of five people (80 percent) with memory issues will be detected by this test.
Ninety-five percent (95) of people who are normal thinking (memory) will have normal SAGE scores.
