Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Four domains of cognitive function were assessed: reasoning, memory, fluency, and semantic knowledge.

Detailed explanation-2: -And yet there are many cognitive domains that contribute to overall cognitive health [4]. The present research addresses five common domains of function [5]: Episodic memory, speed-attention-executive, visuospatial ability, fluency, and numeric reasoning. Episodic memory is memory for specific events in time and place.

Detailed explanation-3: -Functional cognitive disorder (FCD) is an under-recognised condition that is different from dementia. In FCD, cognitive difficulties with memory and thinking – particularly when the person can’t maintain attention – are down to a problem with how the brain is working, rather than to loss of brain cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Inattention: Short attention span for age (difficulty sustaining attention) Difficulty listening to others. Impulsivity: Often interrupts others. Hyperactivity: Seems to be in constant motion; runs or climbs, at times with no apparent goal except motion.
