Data Sheet 1_Social engagement, pleasure, and memory in musical reminiscence workshops for

Nineteen participants with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease from four nursing homes participated in a single-group intervention study. The data, published in 2026, includes assessments of social engagement, episodic memory, observed emotion, and verbal interactions collected at baseline, during nine workshops, post-intervention, and at a one-month follow-up. The dataset is a 102.8 KB PDF file containing the study's data sheet, authored by Mikael Genguelou.

Use Cases

• Analyzing correlations between pleasure and social interaction frequency based on the Observed Emotion Rating Scale and interaction counts.
• Modeling changes in episodic memory and verbal interactions across intervention sessions based on the Tempau Test and observational grid.
• Evaluating the longitudinal impact of music-based interventions on daily social engagement using the AD-Related Quality of Life scale.

Strengths

• Includes longitudinal data from multiple assessment points: baseline, three during intervention, post-intervention, and one-month follow-up.
• Employs multiple validated assessment tools: Observed Emotion Rating Scale, AD-Related Quality of Life scale, and Tempau Test.
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 102.8 KB, indicating limited scope.
