视觉-空间定向障碍通常发生在阿尔茨海默病患者的相对较早的时候，通常是由担心个人可能离开房子迷路的家庭报告的。通常正是这种不足吓到了家庭成员，促使他们考虑长期护理机构。然而，在长期护理机构内和机构外都可能发生定向障碍。这项研究将考察显著展示的对每个居民具有长期意义的个人纪念品是否会作为定位信号，帮助识别他或她的卧室。结果显示，十分之四的居民比不重要的人更能成功地找到有重要纪念品的房间。
Visuo-spatial disorientation typically occurs relatively early in Alzheimer's disease patients, and is usually reported by families who fear that the individual may leave the house and get lost. It is often this deficit which frightens the family members into consideration of a long term care facility. However, disorientation to place can occur within a long term care facility as well as outside of it. This study will examine whether prominently displayed personal memorabilia of long term significance to each resident will serve as orientation cues to help identify his or her bedroom. The results indicate that four out of 10 residents were more successful in locating their rooms with significant memorabilia items than with nonsignificant ones.
