This chapter focuses on cognitive loss related to neurocognitive disorders. Both behavioral and cognitive interventions are discussed, and caregiver support is also an important topic. Basic components include education and healthcare navigation, as well as reducing vascular risk factors and preventing excess disability. Other credible components include a problem-solving stance, systematic observations, stimulus control, reestablishing chains/sequences, access to meaningful events, differential reinforcement, intervening on social contingencies, cognitive reframing, and distress tolerance skills. A sidebar discusses format and duration of intervention.
