全国性的创伤事件可以产生极其生动的记忆。在电话采访中使用问卷调查。作者调查了情绪反应。以及2001年9月11日恐怖袭击对阿尔茨海默病（AD）患者、轻度认知障碍（MCI）患者和健康老年人的记忆，在事件发生后的最初几周和3-4个月后再次进行。有几个值得注意的发现。第一。AD患者的记忆力低于MCI患者和老年人。第二，AD患者，而不是MCI患者或老年人，似乎对个人信息和事实信息保留了更多的记忆。第三，老年痴呆症患者和老年人报告的情绪反应强度没有差异，而轻度认知障碍患者报告的情绪反应相对较弱。最后，对个人信息的记忆扭曲在所有参与者中都很常见，但在AD患者中更为常见。
National traumatic events can produce extremely vivid memories. Using a questionnaire administered during telephone interviews. the authors investigated emotional responses to. and memory for, the September 11 2001, terrorist attacks in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and healthy older adults in the initial weeks following the event and again 3-4 months later. There were several notable findings. First. patients with AD showed less memory than patients with MCI and older adults. Second, patients with AD, but not patients with MCI or older adults, appeared to retain more memory for personal versus factual information. Third, patients with AD and older adults did not differ in the intensity of their reported emotional responses to the attacks, whereas patients with MCI reported relatively less intense emotional responses. Last, distortions of memory for personal information were frequent for all participants but were more common in patients with AD.
