Question 19 • Personal Psychology 1

Someone who has Lewy body dementia will MOST likely have which symptoms?

Answer
A
difficulty speaking and swallowing
B
seeing things that aren’t there and acting erratically
C
running a high fever for days at a time
D
being unable to make new memories after an accident

Explanation

Lewy body dementia commonly causes visual hallucinations, meaning the person may see things that aren’t there, along with changes in alertness, thinking, and behavior. So the best choice is seeing things that aren’t there and acting erratically. Difficulty speaking and swallowing can occur in other neurological conditions, while a prolonged high fever or memory loss after an accident is not characteristic of Lewy body dementia.
