Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2017/Dementia and vocally disruptive behaviour

Feedback
Keen to read more about this topic, I've got a lot of friends working in nursing who have said it can be really difficult working with people who have dementia, especially in terms of providing them medical care whilst remaining patient with having to be constantly repetitive. I've got some friends also whose grandparents are pretty much gone and don't remember anyone anymore, so reading about this will be really enlightening. Here's hoping we get more support for dementia patients in the future. :) Watching your page!--Taylormeggles (discuss • contribs) 05:04, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Im very excited to be following this page as this is a topic that interests me greatly. Im working on Elder Abuse Motivation and I feel there may be some subtle overlapping themes between the two. Im particularly interested in your 'Ways to manage vocally disruptive behaviour in people with dementia' section and where you reference studies using music. I watched a documentary recently where music therapy was being implemented in nursing homes and retirement villages as a means of providing individuals with a stimulating activity, providing both joy and a decrease in some dementia related symptoms. Although it isn't a study in itself, this article gives a review of the available evidence for the cognitive effect/benefits of music and I thought it may be of some use to you in this particular area. All the best with your chapter!

Formatting
Hi I really like your page and the way its set out! Just wondering that in the "see also" part that to make it look a little neater you could write "Motivation and emotion 2010 chapter" etc, and hyperlink that, rather than just pasting the link itself. I also loved that you had a video in your page!!--U3136850 (discuss • contribs) 09:45, 22 October 2017 (UTC) Hello again just adding another link for you, I don't know if you already have it but it was interesting for both my page and yours as its about dementia and the application of laughter as a therapy. https://bmccomplementalternmed.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1472-6882-10-28 --U3136850 (discuss • contribs) 10:25, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Direct Edits
Hi, I made some direct edits to your page. You will be able to see them in the 'view history' tab of your page but this is what I did. Minor direct edits to sentences for spelling and clarification. Readjustment and resizing of images/videos to make the page more appealing. At least six direct links to other chapters and wikipedia pages that would aid clarification of certain topics (i.e. the types of dementia). Captioned the video in the "What is dementia?" section (a reference in this caption is needed). I think that is everything I did. One thing I noticed with your chapter, and I know you are probably working on it, but there are sentences which require references and none are provided. The main one I am referring to is the top "putting dementia into perspective". Where did you get these facts? A reference is definitely needed here (don't want you to lose potential marks for something so small). Perhaps (also) add a "see also" link to the report/article/whatever for interested parties who want to know more about these stats. So far, great looking information. Some layout and presentation work could be done but if you're happy, I'm happy. I'm unsure whether your "biological basis" section is complete, so I recommend giving that a quick look over. Great inclusion of an interactive quiz component. Good job.--U3117126 (discuss • contribs) 10:41, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I found your book chapter to be very interesting, being psychology students we are somewhat aware of dementia and its affects, however you have covered the topic in a very insightful way. The chapter also flows well and looks very interesting, good job! u3141330 (User: U3141330} 22:20 3rd September 2017G(discuss)contribs)
