A Therapy Technique Fpr Improving Memory: Spaced Retrieval

Brush, Jennifer A.

MYERS RESEARCH INSTITUTE

<p>Persons with dementia need cognitive stimulation, along with opportunities to successfully and meaningfully interact with their physical and social environments on a regular basis. These persons have needs similar to those without cognitive impairment: the need to feel self-worth, the need to express one's thoughts and feelings, the need to have a sense of belonging, the need to have a sense of accomplishment, and the need to have a sense of order. Many of the problems associated with dementia can be traced to the inability to meet these needs. This manual provides stimulating, interesting, and challenging activities that can be performed successfully as a means of helping persons with dementia. This manual was edited by Cameron J. Camp, Ph.D., psychologist and senior reserch scientist at Myers Research Institute, Beachwood, Ohio. He and his staff have been successfully implementing these activities in individual and small group activities.</p>

If you have a loved one with memory impairment, this manual is a wonderful resource. A Different Visit gives you ideas that will allow you to recapture the enjoyment of visiting with your loved one. Inside are activities designed to stimulate conversation and interaction and provide support to make each visit more enjoyable than the last. This manual was created to help people have a different visit with relatives who have memory problems, such as those related to dementia. We hope that here you can find many activities that are right for you and your family members regardless of where they are in the course of dementia. We understand that every person with dementia is different. What works for one person may not work for another, and what works one day may not work another day. This manual is written specifically to you - all those who love family members dearly, but need some inspiration for how to better engage and interact with them. The manual is entertaining as well as informative. Additional resource information included on CD enclosed with the manual.
