背景在早期的一项研究中，我们表明，一种强大的情感体验，（科比地震）增强了阿尔茨海默病患者的记忆力，但我们无法控制除了情绪影响之外的其他因素方法对34名阿尔茨海默病患者和10名正常人进行了由两个短篇故事组成的回忆测验，并与对照组进行了比较科目两个故事是相同的，除了在每个故事中的一个错误：一个是情绪化的（唤醒的故事），另一个（中性故事）是noth.Results在两组中，情绪化的文章在唤醒的故事比对应的中性故事更好地记住。此外，记忆改善的程度是相似的主题和在controls.Conclusions的结果提供了进一步的证据，情绪唤醒增强了阿尔茨海默病患者的陈述性记忆，并提供了一个线索，管理的人与痴呆症。
Background In an earlier study we showed that a powerful emotional experience (the Kobe earthquake) reinforced memory retention in patients with Alzheimer's disease, but we could not control factors other than the emotional impact of-the earthquake.Aims To test our previous findings in a controlled experimental study.Method Recall tests consisting of two short stories were administered to 34 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 10 normal subjects. The two stories were identical except for one passage-in each story: one was emotionally charged (arousing story) and the other (neutral story) was not.Results In both groups, the emotionally charged passage in the arousing story was remembered better than the counterpart in the neutral story. In addition, the extent of the memory improvement was similar in the subjects and in the controls.Conclusions The results provide further evidence that emotional arousal enhances declarative memory in patients with Alzheimer's disease, and give a clue to the management of people with dementia.
