Spaced Retrieval vs. Memory Tape Therapy in Memory Rehabilitation for Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type

Abstract

This study compared two memory rehabilitation techniques, specifically memory tape training and spaced retrieval. Subjects (n = 6) with mild-moderate dementia were assigned to two treatment groups with half receiving memory tape therapy and half the spaced retrieval method. Results of the study indicated that both treatment techniques were effective forms of memory rehabilitation.
