Dementia music, Knowledge organization, CommunicationAbstract
Introduction: The field of knowledge organization can assist caregivers of people with dementia. But to do this, we must adjust our theories and principles of classification.Objective: The study described below seeks to understand, from a knowledge organization perspective, how music serves to lend order and coherence to persons whose cognition has been compromised.
Methodology: This article will show the results of interviews with caregivers, along with evidence from previously published memoirs.
Results: By analyzing this data according to theories of the acoustic aspects of music, we can see that the classification of information is not fixed in the way we encounter it in libraries.
Conclusions: In dementia care, knowledge relationships emerge gradually from the interactions between the caregiver and the person with dementia, through repeated ritual activities.
