The present study was an effort to extend the assessment of stimulation intervention with a man
with Alzheimer’s disease who presented with very high levels of wandering without any apparent
searching goal. A non-conventional stimulation condition (i.e. an activity consisting of colouring pictures reproducing famous artifacts highly familiar to the man) was compared with (a) a conventional stimulation condition (i.e. music) and (b) a baseline condition in which no specific stimulation/activity was programmed, except for the voices and noises normally available in the setting. A choice opportunity was then allowed between the picture colouring activity and the music. Eventually, only the colouring activity was retained.
