Early Alzheimer's Exhibited in Attention Span
People in early stages of Alzheimer's disease have trouble focusing on what is important to remember, according to University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) researchers.
"One of the first telltale signs of Alzheimer's disease may be not memory problems, but failure to control attention," said lead researcher Alan Castel, UCLA assistant professor of Psychology.
