Read our Alzheimer's Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers have noticed that standard memory and thinking tests don't always explain why people with Alzheimer's disease and similar conditions have trouble with social behavior — like saying inappropriate things, losing motivation, or making risky decisions. This study aims to understand whether problems with social and emotional thinking might be the real cause of these behavior changes. To do this, researchers will give participants special tests to measure social and emotional thinking, watch how they behave during testing, and use brain imaging to see which parts of the brain are involved.
Current tests for these diseases don't fully explain why patients struggle socially and emotionally. By studying the link between social thinking and actual behavior, this research could help doctors better understand and eventually treat these difficult symptoms.

You will visit the research center to complete a series of tests that measure how you think about social situations and emotions, along with standard memory and thinking tests. You'll also have a brain scan (MRI) so researchers can see which brain areas are involved in social thinking. A family member or caregiver will also be asked to complete some questionnaires about your behavior. The study does not involve taking new medications — only testing and observation to better understand the disease.
