In this article we focus on memory remediation activities for older adults with cognitive impairment. Memory interventions that promote retention of simple information, such as a caregiver name, may have important emotional consequences for affected individuals and their families. The inclusion of memory activities in long-term care facilities offers a new and creative direction for programming with potential benefits for clients, staff, and families. We describe recent studies that demonstrate the efficacy of the spaced retrieval technique for improving memory for simple associations in older adults with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD). We present data that address quality-of-life issues for persons who participate in a spaced retrieval memory training program. These data strongly suggest that memory remediation activities should be included as a component of current best practices for memory-impaired older adults in long-term care settings. |
