The tendency of people with cognitive impairment to wander is also related to their reduced ability to express themselves. Cognitively impaired persons may not be able to express what they want to say, and this may make it difficult for them to seek help when they are lost in the street. This makes it difficult for them to seek help when they are lost on the street. Even if they can call their elders, they have difficulty in expressing clearly where they are or what landmarks are around them, which makes it even more difficult for them to find their elders when they are lost.
