| definition |
This is a rather broad concept. Whenever there is impairment in memory, concentration, attention, orientation, or language, one could say there is cognitive decline, or decreased cognition. The clinical summaries of the NBB, frequently only state that there is ‘cognitive decline’ or ‘cognitive deterioration’. This is the reason why it is also noted as a single parameter. |
