Describes a study of non-cognitive features of dementia in a population of 105 people over 50 years of age, with learning disability. Results support the previously reported observation for the general population that cognitive and non-cognitive features are only weakly related. The study suggests that psychiatric symptom information may be useful in screening for dementia in people with learning disabilities.
