Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with intact experience but abnormal expression of emotion. Because emotion regulation is important in determining levels of experienced and expressed emotion, individuals with AD and control participants were asked to watch film clips under conditions of spontaneous expression, suppression, or amplification of emotion. Both groups had difficulties with behavioral amplification that were related to performance on a measure of theory of mind. However, intentional use of suppression was intact even for those with AD, consistent with models of aging that regard some emotion control processes as being relatively more automatic in older adulthood.

阿尔茨海默病（AD）与完整的体验相关，但情感表达异常。由于情绪调节在决定体验到的和表达出的情绪水平方面很重要，因此要求患有AD的个体和对照参与者在自发表达、抑制或增强情绪的条件下观看电影片段。两组在行为增强方面都有困难，这与心理理论测量的表现有关。然而，即使是患有AD的人，其抑制的有意使用也是完整的，这与将某些情绪控制过程视为在成年后期相对更自动的衰老模型一致。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2009美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
