Abstract
The purpose of this study was lo investigate the relationships between temporal adaptation and functional capacity in persons with Alzheimer's Disease. The relationships were examined through the administration of research .instruments designed to evaluate temporal orientation, organization and distortion, performance of activities of daily living (ADLs), and the severity of Alzheimer's ' Disease. The results demonstrated significant relationships between: (1) temporal adaptation and performance of ADLs: 2) temporal adaptation and severity of Alzheimer's Disease; and (3) the severity of Alzheimer's Disease and performance of ADLs. The findings suggested that as the Alzheimer's patient progresses through the course of the disease, temporal adaptation skills and performance of ADLs deteriorate progressively. The findings also suggested that temporal adaptation may predict ADL performance in persons with Alzheimer's Disease.
