■我们评估了患有轻度阿尔茨海默病(AD)的个体尽管自传记忆有一些缺陷,可以通过讲故事有效地传达他们的个人经历。
■我们邀请了37名轻度AD患者和37名对照参与者分享他们的个人经历。我们根据讲故事的五个特征对这些叙述进行了评级:焦点,反射,娱乐,结构,和特异性。
■分析表明,患有AD的人传达的记忆比特定的记忆更普遍,在结构化和非结构化记忆之间没有观察到显著差异。重要的是,患有AD的人比没有AD的人更有重点地回忆,有反射比没有反射,这很有趣。与控制参与者相比,患有AD的人的叙述不太集中,结构化,和具体。然而,两个样本在反射或娱乐方面没有观察到显著差异.
■患有轻度AD的人可能难以恢复特定的记忆,但是他们的个人经验故事可以集中,展示反射,和娱乐。患有轻度AD的人可以进行反思和娱乐的自传故事,可能有助于他们的认同感和与他人的联系。
UNASSIGNED: We assessed whether individuals with mild Alzheimer\'s disease (AD), despite some deficits in autobiographical memory, could effectively convey their personal experiences through storytelling.
UNASSIGNED: We invited 37 individuals with mild AD and 37 control participants to share their personal experiences. We rated these narratives based on five characteristics of storytelling: focus, reflection, entertainment, structure, and specificity.
UNASSIGNED: Analyses demonstrated that individuals with AD conveyed more general than specific memories, and no significant differences were observed between structured and unstructured memories. Importantly, individuals with AD recounted more memories with focus than without, with reflection than without, and that were entertaining than were not. Compared with those of the control participants, the narratives of the individuals with AD were less focused, structured, and specific. However, no significant differences were observed between the two samples regarding reflection or entertainment.
UNASSIGNED: Individuals with mild AD can have difficulties in retrieving specific memories, but their storytelling of personal experience can be focused, exhibit reflection, and be entertaining. Individuals with mild AD can engage in reflective and entertaining autobiographical storytelling, potentially contributing to their sense of identity and connection with others.
