Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Memory problems are typically one of the first signs of the disease. Decline in non-memory aspects of cognition, such as finding the right word, trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships, and impaired reasoning or judgment, may also signal the early stages of Alzheimer’s.
Detailed explanation-2: -Memory loss is the key symptom of Alzheimer’s disease. Early signs include difficulty remembering recent events or conversations.
