“…Spaced retrieval (SR) training is regarded as one method for patients with dementia that can enhance learning and retention of information by recalling that information over increasingly longer periods of time (Bourgeois et al, 2003;Loewenstein et al, 2004). SR involves the use of well-learned processes and the unconscious, relatively effortless acquisition, and retrieval of new information (Bourgeois et al, 2003).…”

“…Several studies have reported the efficacy of SR in improving eating difficulties among patients with dementia (Camp and Stevens, 1996;Brush and Camp, 1998a;Brush and Camp, 1998b). However, the few studies about SR as a treatment for eating difficulty of patients with dementia were all limited in that they did not use an adequate sample size, had no control group, no assessor blinding, no statistical comparison between pre-and post intervention, no standardized protocol, and/or no objective outcome measure to reflect improvement in eating difficulty, such as self-eating ability and nutritional status (Camp and Stevens, 1996;Brush and Camp, 1998a;Brush and Camp, 1998b;Bourgeois et al, 2003;Hopper et al, 2005).…”

was subsequently identified in the Key points section. This notice is included in the online and print versions to indicate that both have been corrected [26 January 2010].Objectives: To construct a training protocol for spaced retrieval (SR) and to investigate the effectiveness of SR and Montessori-based activities in decreasing eating difficulty in older residents with dementia. Methods: A single evaluator, blind, and randomized control trial was used. Eighty-five residents with dementia were chosen from three special care units for residents with dementia in long-term care facilities in Taiwan. To avoid any confounding of subjects, the three institutions were randomized into three groups: spaced retrieval, Montessori-based activities, and a control group. The invention consisted of three 30-40 min sessions per week, for 8 weeks.Results: After receiving the intervention, the Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia (EdFED) scores and assisted feeding scores for the SR and Montessori-based activity groups were significantly lower than that of the control group. However, the frequencies of physical assistance and verbal assistance for the Montessori-based activity group after intervention were significantly higher than that of the control group, which suggests that residents who received Montessori-based activity need more physical and verbal assistance during mealtimes. In terms of the effects of nutritional status after intervention, MiniNutritional Assessment (MNA) in the SR group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Conclusion: This study confirms the efficacy of SR and Montessori-based activities for eating difficulty and eating ability. A longitudinal study to follow the long-term effects of SR and Montessori-based activities on eating ability and nutritional status is recommended.

“…As ajudas externas, apresentam resultados eficazes, mesmo em sujeitos com demência (Bourgeois et al, 2003) e estas conclusões são corroboradas pelos estudos de Bottino et al (2002) e de Tran et al (2007), que apontam no sentido das ajudas externas proporcionarem independência, aumento da auto-estima e da auto-confiança dos indivíduos.…”

“…Segundo Bourgeois et al (2003), o estudo da conversação de indivíduos que recorrem ao uso de livros de memória como ajuda externa, revelou nestes, frases mais elaboradas e menor ambiguidade e repetições, quando comparada com situações onde não se recorria a ajudas externas, como estratégia de compensação mnésica.…”

ResumoAs estratégias de compensação são intervenções neuropsicológicas que reorganizam as funções psicológicas, incluindo as ajudas internas e externas e adaptações ambientais. As ajudas externas à memória atribuem importância a objectos externos ou ao ambiente, em prol de intervenções cognitivas ou comportamentais. O objectivo deste trabalho é analisar a eficácia e as condicionantes bio-psico-sociais inerentes à utilização das ajudas externas, por pessoas idosas com comprometimento mnésico. Procedeu-se à recolha bibliográfica de artigos científicos, maioritariamente em inglês, com critério de inclusão a intervenção em pessoas idosas, com comprometimento mnésico, e exclusão, jovens ou crianças e avaliação de outras estratégias de compensação. Os resultados sugerem que são os mecanismos compensatórios mais usados com a idade, diminuindo na demência. Devem inserir-se em sistemas de treino, ajustados às incapacidades mnésicas, potenciando a estimulação e manutenção da memória e independência. Palavras-chave: Ajudas externas, comprometimento mnésico, pessoas idosas. AbstractCompensation strategies are one of the most effective ways in memory rehabilitation, including internal and external aids as well as environmental adaptations. External aids attach importance to external objects or the environment, in favor of cognitive or behavioral interventions. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the efficacy and bio-psycho-social indicators associated with the use of external aids, by older people with memory impairment. It was reviewed a variety of scientific studies, mostly in English, with inclusion criteria of intervention for older people with memory impairment. Exclusion criteria included youths or children and assessment of other compensation strategies. The findings presented them as the most commonly used compensatory mechanisms as age goes by, decreasing in dementia. It is concluded that older people should be integrated into training systems, adjusted to mnesic impairment, enhancing stimulation and maintenance of memory and independence.
