Notes from article (summarized in YOUR OWN
WORDS):

- Studies investigating the short-term and long-term
effects of music on patients with Alzheimer’s
Disease
- Study: two groups of patients; two times a week
for four weeks, researchers performed two fun
activities, one involving music. Evaluated
emotional state of each group for long term and
short-term benefits.
- Results: Short-term benefits for both, but only
long-term benefits for music-related
- Suggests that music can help AD patients for
long-term
- Case study: Patient’s ability to recognize emotion
in music and in other methods evaluated
- Patient was able to recognize emotions through
music, but could not recognize emotions through
other ways such as facial expressions and vocal
expressions as successfully.
- Suggests that music can be used to help with
behavioral and emotional regulation

- Evaluating the use of neurological music therapy
for cognitive rehabilitation
- Uses newer imaging technique such as EEG and
MEG, which allows for further investigation of the
effects of music therapy on the brain
- Access of musical recall can help with accessing
nonmusical recall, since music is an emotional
stimulus that can be used to access the amygdala
- Shows that music can be extremely helpful for
rehabilitating people affected by brain problems
like the aftermath of a stroke or a traumatic brain
injury
- Dementia is becoming a bigger problem;
increasing double every 20 years
- By strengthening a memory system, it can help
with other memory systems, therefore the music
memory system can aid in other recall
- In a study, music was used to help learn new
verbal information
- Working with patients with dementia can be
difficult for investigations – caretakers are usually
hesitant to take on more duties, or they may be
embarrassed to take tests, and each participant is
a unique person with their own unique level of AD
and therefore each test must be tailored to their
personal situation, which is difficult when trying to
perform an experiment
- There is also a time constraint as AD is a very
fast-paced disease and participants may not be
able to participate for very long.
- Methodological challenges when working with

patients with dementia and other cognitive
impairments: must simplify materials since they
have decreased sensory abilities, but others
might have stronger sensory abilities, so it may be
difficult to make one experiment for all
- Types of music: most patients with dementia have
lived for a long time and therefore might
recognize more music, especially music from their
childhoods
- Measure responses: patients also struggle to
show their responses, and they may convey their
feelings in different ways, especially if they do not
respond physically at all
- Group music making has many social benefits for
patients, but so do solo performers, who can
connect with listeners
- Even people who have only taught an instrument
can be of use in music therapy as the process of
learning an instrument can be conveyed without
too much verbalization
- Investigates the emotions that music can evoke
from different kinds of people, specifically
Western music
- Results showed that music overall evokes the
feelings that was meant to be conveyed in the
music itself
- This makes the emotional judgements of music
predictable
- Age, gender, importance, and music training did
not have correlation with the emotions evoked
from the music
