| Abstract |
Memory rehabilitation in dementia patients is gaining importance. Among the increasing number of people affected by Alzheimer's dementia (AD), the number detected in early stages of the disease is growing disproportionately quickly. The reasons are obvious: improved clinical assessment in the initial disease stage, increased sensitization of the elderly towards cognitive deficits, and the prescription of drugs retarding cognitive decline. Given the limited success of early training programs in the 1980s, skepticism towards cognitive training in dementia is still common among clinicians. However, recent international studies in the field give reason for cautious optimism. Memory therapy in the early-to-moderate stages of AD can be successful, if it is tailored to patients' individual daily problems and based on their residual cognitive capacities. The present paper gives an overview of recent findings in clinical and cognitive neuroscience which have led to a conceptual change in the memory rehabilitation of patients with dementia. Based on a review of general principles and rehabilitation techniques proven successful in recent research, recommendations are formulated for future studies evaluating cognitive therapy in dementia. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 March 2008.
All research outputs
#7,845,540
of 23,794,258 outputs
Outputs from Der Nervenarzt
#235
of 905 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,809
of 67,320 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Der Nervenarzt
#1
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,794,258 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 905 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 67,320 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
