Case report JF - Salud, Ciencia y Tecnología JA - Salud, Ciencia y Tecnología VL - 2 IS - SE - Case Report DO - 10.56294/saludcyt202292 UR - https://revista.saludcyt.ar/ojs/index.php/sct/article/view/92 SP - 92 AB - <p>It is increasingly described that memory for music is preserved in people living with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This article illustrates a case example of well-preserved memory for music in one non musician adult with AD at its moderate to advanced stage. During the four-year course of adapted music lessons he displayed an outstanding and increasing ability to learn new songs over time, despite his overall deterioration deepened due to the progress of the disease. Addressing the question if adults in late stages of AD are able to learn and recall new musical material, this case is relevant given the novel findings seen during this course of work, which can have implications in treatment planning, intervention design and to further explore the mechanisms of memory for music particularly in AD.</p> ER -
