Embodied Approach to Autobiographical Recall Disorders in Alzheimer’s Disease
摘要
The autobiographical functioning of memory allows the grouping of all personal knowledge. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) exhibit autobiographical recall disorders due to difficulties in retrieving contextual elements associated with personal memories. This impairment leads to a reduction in the subjective experience of recall as well as a disturbance of self-awareness. Within an innovative approach, this article aims to reconsider the autobiographical recall deficits observed in AD according to the embodied approach to cognition, in order to promote the development of embodied interventions aimed at reducing the difficulties of patients with AD. To this end, we propose two preliminary models: the first concerning autobiographical recall disorders in AD according to the embodied approach to cognition, and the second concerning the management of autobiographical recall disorders in AD according to the embodied approach to cognition. We thus propose avenues for reflection and a reference framework for clinicians and researchers wishing to develop embodied methods intended for AD patients.
