Neurocognitive disorders (NCDs), previously referred to as “dementia,”, are syndromes that affect the brain. NCDs are characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive functioning that involves loss of memory, difficulty thinking, and changes in mood and behavior. The term “dementia” is still used to describe degenerative dementia that affects older adults. The term “cognition” refers to the process of receiving knowledge and understanding in areas such as psychomotor speed, attention, working memory, declarative memory (verbal and visual), and executive functioning, including planning, decision-making, response inhibition, and cognitive flexibility (Chakrabarty et al., 2016).
