ABSTRACT

Perception is a primary role of cognition, and perception itself changes with dementia. Behaviour changes also, because people respond to what they percieve. A transdisciplinary. approachmethod of transgressing disciplinary boundaries to integrate understandings from the sciences, medicine, the caring professions, the arts, indigenous perspectives and the perspectives of the people living with dementia (PLWD) themselves. A key is found in the ecological theories of perception, which in themselves fill an uncertain space between the disciplines. The theories promise to mitigate the symptomatology of dementia, problematic behaviour and improve the sense of wellbeing for PLWD passively and non-invasively, if only carers of PLWD were to use them.

摘要

知觉是认知的主要作用，知觉本身会随着痴呆症而改变。行为也会发生变化，因为人们会对他们的感知做出反应。一个跨学科的。超越学科界限，整合科学、医学、护理专业、艺术、土著观点和痴呆症患者 (PLWD) 本身观点的理解的方法。关键在于感知的生态理论，它本身填补了学科之间的不确定空间。这些理论承诺，只要 PLWD 的护理人员使用它们，就能被动地、非侵入性地减轻痴呆症的症状、问题行为并提高 PLWD 的幸福感。
