The Cognitive Decline of Alzheimer's Patients
1:00:30 - 1:13:06 (12:35)
As Alzheimer's progresses, patients lose the ability to recognize animals and differentiate between similar breeds of dogs, eventually forgetting even lower frequency categories. Rommel Hart is an important figure in cognitive science who experienced this decline himself.

The progressive neural network neurological condition isn't fully understood, but it causes patients to lose the ability to appreciate the meaning of their experiences including touch, sight, sound, and language.

Summary
The progressive neural network neurological condition isn't fully understood, but it causes patients to lose the ability to appreciate the meaning of their experiences including touch, sight, sound, and language. Brain scans can help understand such a condition, but this wasn't done in this particular case.

Patients with agnosia start off losing the ability to recognize similar breeds of dogs or forget the unfamiliar categories they once remembered, eventually progressing to being unable to differentiate between common animals like dogs and cats.

This episode discusses the effects of brain damage on cognition, particularly the gradual disintegration part, and how our cognition is multi-partite with certain competences that still exist in the absence of other features.
