Abstract
The authors report the effect of a 12‐day prospective, blinded dance‐learning trial in 5 patients with moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 5 age‐matched depressed patients. Patients with AD showed a significant effect in procedural learning whereas depressed patients did not. These findings suggest potential implications for therapeutic interventions in patients with moderate AD. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Keywords
