目前的研究旨在检查非痴呆 ALS 患者在涉及情绪感知和记忆的神经心理学测试中的表现。研究人员将 19 名患有 ALS 的非痴呆患者与 20 名健康对照者进行了面部表情识别、面部社会判断评级和情绪词识别记忆的评估评估。患者和对照者匹配良好，排除了一系列潜在的混杂变量。患者和对照组仅在一项认知功能测试中表现出显着差异。与中性词相比，ALS 组未能表现出情感词识别记忆增强的规范模式，并且在中性词识别记忆方面得分高于对照组。这些发现表明，与健康成年人相比，ALS 患者在情感材料记忆方面表现出不同的认知表现模式。 (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The current study sought to examine the performance of non-demented ALS patients on neuropsychological tests involving emotional perception and memory. Nineteen non-demented patients with ALS were compared with 20 healthy controls on assessments of facial expression recognition, social judgement ratings of faces and recognition memory for emotional words. Patients and controls were well matched to exclude a range of potentially confounding variables. The patients and controls demonstrated significant differences on only one test of cognitive functioning. The ALS group demonstrated a failure to show the normative pattern of enhanced recognition memory for emotional words compared to neutral words and produced higher scores than controls on recognition memory for neutral words. These findings suggest that patients with ALS show a different pattern of cognitive performance with respect to memory for emotional material when compared to healthy adults. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
