Abstract:
This study aims to investigate the impact of impulsivity and decision-making on the cognitive processes of people with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) by examining their neuropsychological characteristics. This research will focus on determining how these factors contribute to the cognitive decline experienced by people with AD. The study will involve a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment of participants, including tests of memory, attention, and executive function. A cross-sectional study method was used for the research method. The statistical population includes the recruitment of participants who have been diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease and whose age is 65 years and older. 40 people participated in this research as a sample. (20 men and 20 women). UPPS, IGT, MMSE scales were used to evaluate impulsivity, decision-making and neuropsychological characteristics, respectively. The results of the examination of neuropsychological characteristics and decision-making in people with mild Alzheimer's have shown that with the severity of this disease, the neuropsychological characteristics significantly decrease. Regarding decision-making, the results show that the increase in the severity of the disease, the decision-making power of people with mild Alzheimer's disease decreases significantly. Regarding impulsivity, the results show that aspects of sensation seeking impulsivity may measure different aspects. The results of this study could provide important insights into the cognitive processes that are affected by AD and may help to develop effective interventions for individuals with this condition.

This title highlights the significance of studying neuropsychological characteristics, impulsivity, and decision-making in people with mild Alzheimer's disease.
2- Methodology The research method will be a cross-sectional study in order to investigate the effect of impulsivity and decision-making based on neuropsychological characteristics in the cognitive processes of the brain of people with mild Alzheimer's disease.
Inferential statistics, such as correlation analysis and regression analysis, would be used to examine the relationship between impulsivity, decision-making, neuropsychological characteristics, and cognitive processes in the brain of people with mild Alzheimer's disease.
4- Conclusion The research method will be a cross-sectional study in order to investigate the effect of impulsivity and decision-making based on neuropsychological characteristics in the cognitive processes of the brain of people with mild Alzheimer's disease.
Use standardized impulsivity and decision-making tasks to measure the influence of these variables on cognitive processes in individuals with mild Alzheimer's disease.
Examine the relationship between neuropsychological characteristics, impulsivity, decision-making and cognitive processes in people with mild Alzheimer's disease.
