- The reason linguistic and cognitive decline often go hand in hand, studies show, is that fluency reflects the performance of the brain’s prefrontal cortex, the seat of higher-order cognitive functions such as working memory, judgment, understanding, and planning, as well as the temporal lobe, which searches for and retrieves the right words from memory. Neurologists therefore use tests of verbal fluency, and especially how it has changed over time, to assess cognitive status.

He wasn't always so confused and unable to complete sentences. He seems to have deteriorated substantially in the past twenty years, and particularly in the last five. This is a worrying trend, and needs to be brought out in the open and discussed. Particularly in light of the 25th Amendment. |
