We assessed the aesthetic experience of patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) to understand their ability to experience feelings of the sublime and to be moved when viewing paintings. We exposed patients with bvFTD and control participants to concrete and abstract paintings and asked them how moved they were by these paintings and whether the latter were beautiful or ugly. Patients with bvFTD declared being less moved than control participants by both abstract and concrete paintings. No significant differences were observed between abstract and concrete paintings in both patients with bvFTD and control participants. Patients with bvFTD provided fewer "beautiful" and more "ugly" responses than controls for both abstract and concrete paintings. No significant differences in terms of "beautiful" and "ugly" responses were observed between abstract and concrete paintings in both patients with bvFTD and control participants. These findings suggest disturbances in the basic affective experience of patients with bvFTD when they are exposed to paintings, as well as a bias in their ability to judge the aesthetic quality of paintings.
我们评估了行为变异型额颞叶痴呆（bvFTD）患者的审美体验，以了解他们在观看画作时体验崇高感和被感动的能力。我们让bvFTD患者和对照参与者观看具象画和抽象画，并询问他们被这些画作感动的程度，以及这些画作是美还是丑。bvFTD患者宣称，无论是抽象画还是具象画，他们被感动的程度都低于对照参与者。在bvFTD患者和对照参与者中，抽象画和具象画之间均未观察到显著差异。对于抽象画和具象画，bvFTD患者给出的“美”的回答比对照组少，而“丑”的回答比对照组多。在bvFTD患者和对照参与者中，抽象画和具象画在“美”和“丑”的回答方面均未观察到显著差异。这些发现表明，bvFTD患者在观看画作时基本情感体验存在障碍，以及他们在判断画作审美质量的能力上存在偏差。
