Senile dementiA can be considered a form of retardation and goes for juvenile forms- senior citizens suddenly demand juvenile items (Where are my electric trains? Where are my comic books?) In some cases staff in senior citizen homes play along with their senility by even supplying such things as dolls and stuffed animals like the Eeyore character.
