越来越多的证据表明，音乐对阿尔茨海默病（AD）患者的自传体记忆有有益的影响。本文旨在揭示这些音乐诱发的自传体叙事的语言特征。18名AD患者和18名健康对照者在安静和暴露于自己选择的音乐后产生自传体叙事。与沉默状态下的自传体叙事相比，AD患者的音乐自传体叙事中包含的虚词较少，语法复杂度和命题密度较高。这些结果为音乐暴露可以克服AD患者的神经语言学限制的观点提供了支持。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
There is a growing body of evidence suggesting a beneficial effect of music exposure on autobiographical memory in patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Our paper was aimed at revealing the linguistic characteristics of these music-evoked autobiographical narrations. Eighteen AD patients and 18 healthy controls produced autobiographical narration in silence and after being exposed to their own-chosen music. Compared to the autobiographical narrations evoked in silence, music-evoked autobiographical narrations of AD patients included fewer empty words and were characterized by higher grammatical complexity and propositional density. These results provide support for the notion that music exposure may overcome neurolinguistic limitations in AD patients. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
