Example of prior knowledge:

I did not have a lot of scientific knowledge about Alzheimer’s prior to reading this article except that this disease impacts a very large number of Americans. I did however have a personal account of watching a family member fade away with this disease and I have had several friends and co-workers who have family members with the same affliction. I was aware that Alzheimer’s is the deterioration of the cognitive functioning of the brain which leads to a slow loss of memory that includes not being able to do the simple chores or functions that were once not even thought about, loss of being able to identify people whom they had known for many years and even the inability to recognize family. All symptoms lead to a severe loss of quality of life, potentially even a to vegetative state and then eventually death usually due to stroke.
