Autobiographical Memory

Completed

• Conditions: Autobiographical Memory; Alzheimer's Disease; Eye Movement; Memory

• Registration Number: NCT04584138
• Lead Sponsor: Nantes University Hospital

Brief Summary

This study aims at the assessment of eye movement during autobiographical retrieval (i.e., retrieval of personal memories) in patients with Alzheimer's Disease.

Detailed Description

There is an increased interest in the study of eye movements during the retrieval of autobiographical memories and recent research has demonstrated how retrieval of autobiographical memory can activate eye movement. This research has been however mainly concerned with young adults and, until now, little is known about the relationship between eye movement and autobiographical memory in patients with Alzheimer's Disease. The aim of the current study is therefore to evaluate eye movements during the retrieval of autobiographical memories in patients with Alzheimer's Disease.
