What this Trial Is About

This study aims to compare the natural narrative language of patients with Alzheimer's disease and the fictional depictions of dementia in contemporary novels from both neurological and literary perspectives. It investigates the similarities and differences in the deterioration of semantic and episodic memory. The goal is to develop a cross-disciplinary language observation model that enhances early diagnostic understanding, fosters empathy in caregiving, and strengthens medical humanities education.
