Emotion experience, expression, and regulation in Alzheimer's disease —Henry 2016

This is an audio summary of the article “Emotion experience, expression, and regulation in Alzheimer's disease” by Henry in 2016. Alzheimer's disease is linked to normal experience but strange emotional expression. People with Alzheimer's disease and people who didn't have the disease were asked to watch film clips under conditions of spontaneous expression, suppression, or amplification of emotion. This was done because emotion regulation is important in determining how much emotion is felt and how much it is shown. Both groups had trouble with behavioral amplification, which was linked to how well they did on a test of theory of mind. But people with Alzheimer's disease still used suppression on purpose, which fits with models of aging that say that some ways of controlling emotions become more automatic as people get older. This is the end of this informational audio track on “Emotion experience, expression, and regulation in Alzheimer's disease” by Henry.
