Abstract:
Few caregivers know what analogons are, yet they use them on occasion, intuitively, for the benefit of their patients. An analogon, an identifying object, enables patients with cognitive disorders to 'decipher' their environment and find meaning in it. Caregivers sometimes use analogons without being aware of the theory behind them.
