该研究考察了音乐疗法和舞蹈/运动疗法对认知障碍和轻度至中度抑郁症老年人的影响。研究了100名老年寄宿和护理人员被动聆听音乐和主动观看伴音乐舞蹈与记忆增强和抑郁症状缓解的关系。对两组进行贝克抑郁量表和识别记忆测试面孔量表（一组暴露在一个30分钟的现场）。在干预前进行一段音乐舞蹈观察（另一段为30分钟的预录音乐），并在干预后3天和10天再次测量。干预后，两组在两项指标上的得分都有所提高，但接受舞蹈治疗的一组的贝克抑郁症得分明显较低，持续时间更长。这些发现表明，积极观察舞蹈运动疗法可以暂时缓解老年人的中度抑郁症状和一些认知缺陷。
The study examined the effects of music therapy and dance/movement therapy on cognitively impaired and mild to moderately depressed older adults. Passive listening to music and active observation of dance accompanied by music were studied in relation to memory enhancement and relief of depressive symptoms in 100 elderly board and care residents. The Beck Depression Inventory and the Recognition Memory Test Faces Inventory were administered to two groups (one group exposed to a live 30-min. session of musical dance observation, the other to 30 min. of pre-recorded music alone) before the intervention and measured again 3 and 10 days after the intervention. Scores improved for both groups on both measures following the interventions, but the group exposed to dance therapy had significantly lower Beck Depression scores that lasted longer. These findings suggest that active observation of Dance Movement Therapy could play a role in temporarily alleviating moderate depressive symptoms and some cognitive deficits in older adults.
