Show more >Background The objective of this study was twofold. We assessed whether individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) demonstrate higher empathy toward people with the same disorder. We also assessed whether empathy may enhance the recognition of these peoples’ faces. Method Twenty-seven mild AD participants and 30 healthy older adults were invited to retain faces depicting either people diagnosed with AD or healthy people. Participants were also invited to rate their empathy toward all faces. Results Although AD participants reported higher empathy for “AD-labeled” than for “healthy” faces, recognition was similar for both categories of faces. Healthy older adults also reported higher empathy for “AD-labeled” than for “healthy” faces. However, they demonstrated higher recognition for “healthy” than for “AD-labeled” faces. Conclusions Although our paper shows no effect of empathy on face recognition in AD, it provides a clinically relevant finding: individuals with mild AD can demonstrate significant empathy toward people with the same medical condition.Show less >
