| Annotation | Spaced Retrieval (SR) is a technique during which retrieval of information is practised at increasingly longer intervals of time. The focus of this study was to determine whether SR could be an effective intervention during speech-language therapy. Participants included two clients with a diagnosis of cerebral vascular accident and seven clients with dementia. During therapy sessions SR was used as a memory intervention for three learning tasks: learning a therapist's name, learning one piece of information which was important to the individual client, and learning a compensatory technique. SR enabled clients to learn and use information in a functional manner which facilitated achievement of the speech-language therapy goals. (AKM). |
