The procedure of this experiment was done through a standardized cognitive and neuropsychological evaluation. As stated in this article one of the hypotheses is, music-therapy interventions will have a beneficial impact on the communication behavior (especially nonverbal), situational well-being, and expression of positive emotions of people with advanced dementia (Schall, Haberstroh, & Pantel, 2015). According to time series data, the results showed positive and statistically significant intervention effects on participants’ communication behavior, situational well-being, and their expression of positive emotions. The study results indicate that, by choosing appropriate outcomes, video-based time series analysis is sensitive and well suited to displaying the effects of music therapy in dementia care (Schall, Haberstroh, & Pantel, …show more content…
Non-pharmacological approaches can be more affective than pharmacological approaches. Music therapy is a non-pharmacological approach because it does not involve drugs, within the context of non-pharmacological and psychosocial approaches to dementia care, music therapy as a creative arts intervention became increasingly important in recent years (Schall, Haberstroh, & Pantel,
