Loss of cognition
Loss of cognition is a symptom in which a person has lost some thinking ability. The loss of cognition can be mild or worse. A person with mild loss of cognition (cognitive impairment) is able to do everyday activities but has difficulty with memory, such as trouble remembering the names of people he meets, trouble following along in a conversation, and having a tendency to misplace things.
