The movie Still Alice is about a women who went from having an amazing life to fighting each day to be the person she had always been. Alice Howland was happily married, had three children, and was a linguistics professor. Everything changed when she was diagnosed with Early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease. The movie displays Alice’s life and the challenges that she faced with her progressive decline in memory and cognitive functioning. In the movie, Alice loses her ability to tie her shoes, speak, and recall the names of her own children. With aging, changes in cognitive functioning occur which can result in difficulty with attention, learning, recognition, recall, and memory. With Alice’s Early-onset Alzheimer's, she experiences severe changes in her cognitive abilities at a much younger age than would be expected. As people age, fluid intelligence begins to fade while crystallized intelligence enhances. Fluid intelligence is our ability to solve problems quickly. We begin to lose this. Crystallized intelligence is our ability to use our skills, knowledge, and experiences without having to use our memory. Due to Alice’s illness, she is losing her crystallized intelligence and her fluid intelligence.
