Understanding Sensory Changes in Dementia - an animation from the CAIT and Newcastle Model series

This animation is a product of a collaboration between CNTW NHS Trust and the British Psychological Society, Division of Clinical Psychology (Faculty of the Psychology of Older People - FPOP). The animations in this series are part of a training programme called Communication And Interaction Training (CAIT), which encompasses the ‘Newcastle Model’. This training is supported by a book entitled ‘Communication skills for effective dementia care’ (James and Gibbons, 2019, London, Jessica Kingsley, ISBN-13: 978 - 1785926233).

I was wondering why I was having pain in the shower 🚿 I thought it was part of aging and just being sensitive now I know why

[@bell10877]

The music in the background makes it harder to take in the information , sorry.

[@gabmay6739]

the cosciousness you forget to take so the sensory organs will not work
why you shut the condciousness?

[@ancabostinariu6550]

I am not sure of the accuracy of the info and the explanations

[@DaveTexas]

Yeah, this video dramatically oversimplifies and over-generalizes everything, leaving you with pretty much no useful information. Everything discussed here can happen to us as we age, whether or not we have dementia.
I’m in my mid-50s and I’m experiencing half these things. I know I’m not suffering from dementia because I recently had a huge battery of tests done to check my cognitive function. Several of these types of changes to my senses had me worried about cognitive impairment, but it turns out that I’m just suffering from neurological damage unrelated to dementia.
