Early
In people with AD the increasing impairment of learning and memory eventually leads to a definitive diagnosis. In a small portion of them, difficulties with language, executive functions,
perception (
agnosia), or execution of movements (
apraxia) are more prominent than memory problems.
[25] AD does not affect all memory capacities equally.
Older memories of the person's life (
episodic memory), facts learned (
semantic memory), and
implicit memory (the memory of the body on how to do things, such as using a fork to eat) are affected to a lesser degree than new facts or memories.
[26][27]
Language problems are mainly characterised by a shrinking
vocabulary and decreased word
fluency, which lead to a general impoverishment of oral and
written language.
[25][28] In this stage, the person with Alzheimer's is usually capable of adequately communicating basic ideas.
[25][28][29] While performing
fine motor tasks such as writing, drawing or dressing, certain movement coordination and planning difficulties (
apraxia) may be present but they are commonly unnoticed.
[25] As the disease progresses, people with AD can often continue to perform many tasks independently, but may need assistance or supervision with the most cognitively demanding activities.
