Christopher Logan · Answer 1

Due to its nature, this study will require observations of the patients over a long period of time.

Thus, the possible limitations of this study are:

Test subjects may have to travel during the experiment.

Test subjects may have full-time jobs.

Furthermore, as the subjects have memory problems, if the data is gathered by themselves, it may not be accurate. If the data is gathered by the scientists, then the patients may have difficulties in coming in, especially if they have full-time jobs or need to travel.
