This study investigated the effect of pictorial cues on autobiographical memory in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We assessed autobiographical memory of patients with AD and cognitively normal older adults in two conditions.
In one condition, the participants were provided with verbal instructions to retrieve three autobiographical memories. In the second condition, the same verbal instructions were provided; however, the participants were simultaneously presented with three pictures. We analyzed autobiographical memory regarding specificity, that is, the ability to remember unique events situated in time and space.
Analysis demonstrated higher autobiographical memory after verbal-and-visual cuing than after the no cue condition in both patients with AD and cognitively normal older adults.
Pictorial cues seem to be an effective method to alleviate autobiographical compromise in AD.
本研究调查了图片提示对阿尔茨海默病（AD）患者自传体记忆的影响。我们在两种条件下评估了 AD 患者和认知正常的老年人的自传体记忆。
在一种条件下，参与者被提供口头指示以检索三个自传体记忆。在第二种条件下，提供了相同的口头指示，但同时向参与者呈现了三张图片。我们分析了自传体记忆的特异性，即记住时间和空间上独特事件的能力。
分析表明，在 AD 患者和认知正常的老年人中，与无提示条件相比，口头和视觉提示后自传体记忆更高。
图片提示似乎是一种缓解 AD 中自传体记忆损伤的有效方法。
