NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH TO STUDYING NORMAL AND ABNORMAL AGING

Abstract

By applying the neuropsychological approach, the authors describe the specific features of cognitive activity in normal aging on the brain structural and functional model as described by A.R. Luria. Four variants of normal aging are identified. Clinical and neuropsychological syndromes are shown in presenile (early) and senile (late) types of Alzheimer's disease
