Counting Problems
Another problem of cognitive dysfunction is numeracy failure. Numbers surround us daily for everyone, and those simple school-taught addition and subtraction skills are very beneficial. You may not realize this, but it's something that Alzheimer's patients know. Patients may have trouble shopping in the early stages of the disease. This is particularly true when it comes to payment methods. They can't easily pay because they don't know how much money they have, keep track of what's been spent, figure out what is left or due in change, or handle cash.
That brings along its financial problems. People with Alzheimer's will find it difficult to tend to monetary concerns. They may also miss important tasks such as paying bills. Poor handling of accounts or other mistakes are common. Even simple arithmetic operations can cause difficulties. That's what experts call dyscalculia. In addition, mental performance falling away can mean that things like the present date, the patient's age, or numerical problems they once handled get harder to manage.
