Facial emotion recognition is associated with executive functions and depression scores, but not staging of dementia, in mild ‐to‐moderate Alzheimer's disease

ConclusionsThis study demonstrated a decreased FER ability in patients with AD. The critical point in FER deficits is the presence of dementia, not the dementia stage, in AD. It has been determined that executive functions and depression (even at a subsyndromal level), which have limited knowledge, are associated with FER abilities.
