What behavior is exhibited by a cognitively impaired individual?

Ability to think logically
Intact memory
Concentration on tasks
Affected memory and concentration

The correct answer is: Affected memory and concentration

A cognitively impaired individual often experiences challenges with memory and concentration. This can manifest in various ways, such as difficulty remembering information, trouble focusing on tasks, or a decline in problem-solving abilities. Cognitive impairment may range from mild difficulty, such as forgetting recent events, to more significant challenges that impact daily functioning. The presence of affected memory means that the individual might struggle to recall past experiences or learn new information effectively. Similarly, difficulties with concentration can lead to challenges in staying focused on conversations, tasks, or instructions. Understanding these traits can help caregivers and healthcare professionals provide appropriate support and interventions to improve the quality of life for those with cognitive impairments.
