| Annotation | Compact disc-interactive (CD-i) technology is an interactive multimedia format which interfaces with a standard television set. The studies presented in this article evaluate: older adults' receptiveness to CD-i technology; older adults' specific preferences for foci of memory training; and the ease of use of the developed prototype module - Name-Face mnemonic training. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected. The results support the general effectiveness of the CD-i format for mnemonic training and the specific effectiveness of the prototype module for improving immediate recall of names and faces among older adults. |
