Abstract

The aim of this book is to increase awareness of the situation in which many people living with dementia will also be living with acquired dysfunction (including loss) in sensory and/or perceptual processing. Here, the term ‘sensory’ describes the process by which information from the environment, e.g., sound and light, is detected by receptors and transduced into neural activity. The processing and interpretation of this activity, results in perception or higher-order processing, i.e., our interpretation and understanding of our surroundings, allowing an individual to respond to the stimulus.
