CDIA Exam 2 2025/2026 Exam Questions
and Answers | A+ Score Assured
Dementia - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The development of multiple cognitive deficits,
including memory impairment and at least one of the following: aphasia, apraxia,
agnosia, or a disturbance in executive functioning. Cognitive deficits must
represent a decline from previously higher level functioning, and must be
sufficiently severe to cause impairment in occupational or social functioning.
Symptoms of Dementia - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Memory impairment, aphasia, apraxia,
agnosia (failure to recognize/identify objects despite intact sensory function), and
executive dysfunction (impaired ability to think abstractly and to plan, sequence,
monitor, and stop complex activities).
Cortical Dementia - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Typically produced by Alzheimer's disease;
could also be caused by Pick disease; neuritic plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and
granulovacuolar degeneration.
, Subcortical Dementia - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Gradual decline in cognitive abilities
without any appreciable loss in associational cortical areas/language; emotional
and personality changes; memory disorders are present and a defective ability to
manipulate acquired knowledge; hypophonia that may progress to mutism;
Parkinson's, Huntington's, HIV, and Wilson's disease can cause it.
Vascular Dementia - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Can involve multiple infarcts in cortical,
subcortical, or both areas. Second highest incidence (15-20% of dementia cases);
will present a history of hypertension, heart disease, strokes, abrupt onset, focal
neurological signs, and stepwise breakdown in progression to dementia.
Mixed Dementia - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Both cortical and subcortical involvement;
display the language abnormalities stemming from cortical and speech
abnormalities from subcortical; Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease, HIV, drug intoxication,
tumors, etc.
What are the main symptoms of Dementia? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Memory impairment
Aphasia
Apraxia
Agnosia (failure to recognize objects despite intact sensory function)
