“…However, emotional processing appears to be relatively preserved in AD patients, insofar as their subjective valence and arousal ratings (Boller et al, 2002;Budson et al, 2004;Kensinger, Anderson, Growdon, & Corkin, 2004;Kensinger, Brierley, Medford, Growdon, & Corkin, 2002;Satler, Uribe, Conde, Da Silva, & Tomaz, 2010), electro-dermal responses (Hamann et al, 2000), attention distribution patterns in respect of emotional stimuli (LaBar, Mesulam, Gitelman, & Weintraub, 2000), intentional use of suppression of expressed emotion (Henry, Rendell, Scicluna, Jackson, & Phillips, 2009), and differential reactivity to failure-versus-success tasks, in terms of both self-reports and facial expressions (Mograbi, Brown, c o r t e x 6 5 ( 2 0 1 5 ) 8 9 e1 0 1 Salas, & Morris, 2012), are similar to those of control participants. Nonetheless, AD patients seem impaired in their ability to control the negative expression of emotion even if the selfratings of the emotional experiences were similar to those of control participants (Smith, 1995).…”
