Extract

Current approaches to the behaviorally based treatment and management of Alzheimer's disease (AD) often fail to take advantage of technological developments in related fields. Thus, there are instances in which the need is not to discover new behavioral approaches, but to make use of “discoveries” made in other fields, charting a course for their application in dealing with AD. This assertion is suggested as a basis for strategic planning involving information transfer, to be conducted in addition to tactical planning regarding research design, implementation, and dissemination.
