The evidence on cognitive decline in senile dementia is reviewed with respect to the distinction between controlled and automatic processing. It is argued that controlled processing, which requires the attentional resources of the individual, declines in early senile dementia. However, automatic processing, which does not require attentional resources, is well maintained until late in the disorder. Implications of this view are drawn for the development of effective screening instruments which can be used for the early detection of dementia in the general population.
关于老年性痴呆认知衰退的证据，结合控制性加工和自动性加工的区别进行了综述。有人认为，需要个体注意力资源的控制性加工在早期老年性痴呆中会衰退。然而，不需要注意力资源的自动性加工在疾病晚期之前都能很好地维持。这种观点对开发有效的筛查工具具有启示意义，这些工具可用于在普通人群中早期检测痴呆。
