title: [The deterioration of cognitive functions in patients with dementia (a study of 18 cases)].
abstract: It appears that general intelligence, memory, and conceptual reasoning, and others are impaired in dementia. As previously noted, in general there is said to be evidence of apraxia, or agnosia until the dementia is quite severe, unlike, for example, Alzheimer's disease. A number of questions, however, remain unanswered.
