Objective.
To assess the ability of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients to perceive emotional information and to assign subjective emotional rating scores to audiovisual presentations.
Materials and Methods.
24 subjects (14 with AD, matched to controls for age and educational levels) were studied.
After neuropsychological assessment, they watched a Neutral story and then a story with Emotional content.
Results.
Recall scores for both stories were significantly lower in AD (Neutral and Emotional: P=.001).
CG assigned different emotional scores for each version of the test, P=.001, while ratings of AD did not differ, P=.32.
Linear regression analyses determined the best predictors of emotional rating and recognition memory for each group among neuropsychological tests battery.
Conclusions.
AD patients show changes in emotional processing on declarative memory and a preserved ability to express emotions in face of arousal content.
The present findings suggest that these impairments are due to general cognitive decline.
