%X <strong>Background:</strong><span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> Alzheimer¡¯s disease is a progressive and
neurodegenerative</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> disorder characterized by deterioration of brain
functions. Psychosocial interventions such as music and photographic stimuli
may contribute to cognitive and sensory exercise or rehabilitation. <b>Objective:</b> Evaluate musical and photographic stimuli in elderly people with Alzheimer¡¯s
disease. <b>Meth<span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"></span>ods:</b> It is an uncontrolled clinical trial, before-after
type, eleven subjects composing the sample. Participants were submitted to Katz
Index, Autobiographical Memory Test, GDS-15, Mini-Mental State Examination. The
collection instruments were used on the first and last day of intervention,
individually. There were 2 sessions in the week with duration of 50 minutes
totaling 20 sessions. Data <span>were analyzed by
descriptive and inferential statistics and as variables ex</span>pressed as
mean standard deviation. <b>Results:</b> There was a significant effect of
cognitive activity (P &lt; 0.01)</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">,</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> it was
observed that a small advance (P = 0.05) of the daily life activities. With the
analysis of GDS-15, it is verified that they are more effective for the
increase of the previous self-estimation of the therapy (P = 0.94). In the

photographic stimuli had a positive effect on the cognitive level, daily </span>life
