Increase memory level with simple technique,

This review is from: A Therapy Technique for Improving Memory: SPACED RETRIEVAL (Spiral-bound)
My company offered the Spaced Retrieval class to therapists who work with dementia patients. I learned this simple technique and often use the book as a reference. It works on most of my middle level patients. The technique is easy to learn, simple and straight forward. I was pleased to see how my patients could recall information we practiced. It is not going to change the path of dementia, but it gives the person the ability to recall items which are familiar to them. It gives them a sense of accomplishment and also some self esteem to be able to remember. One woman could not remember her own son's name. We practiced the simple phrase, "what is your son's name" and she learned to come up with the correct answer. One day I found her and her son in the courtyard. I went over and spoke to her and asked her who her guest was. She replied she did not know, but that the was very nice. When I asked the young man his name he replied, Scott. She turned to me and said, Scott, are you my son? They both were so happy. She connected the name and the phrase. I cried and saw two happy people. It may not sound like much, but it is a start. I would recommend this book to both therapist and families.
