}Studies suggest that emotionally influenced events enhance long-term memory. This study aimed to uncover whether this phenomenon exists in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) by comparing patients' performance with that of controls on a memory task. Overall, controls performed better than AD subjects on a delayed recognition task of a story containing emotional elements (95.8 ± 2.4% vs 66.6 ± 28.5%; mean ± s.d.), respectively. Among AD subjects, there was relative sparing of emotionally influenced memory… CONTINUE READING
