Abstract
⺠Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) focus attention. ⺠As such AChEIs may also reduce spreading activation. ⺠We compared dementia patients who were and were not taking these medications. ⺠Dementia patients taking AChEIs had reduced spreading activation. ⺠This might be detrimental to their memory functioning.
