This study looks at how well people with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia or Alzheimer's recognize facial emotions, and how accurately they judge their own performance. Participants complete computer tasks and interviews over two visits. It is non-interventional, meaning nothing is given or changed. No phase applies. It only observes and measures.
