“…However, Evans, Wilson, Schuri, Andrade, Baddeley, Bruna, Canavan, Della Sala, Green, Laaksonen, Lorenzi, & Taussik (2000) had mixed results: EL was successful for relearning names but not for route learning or putting information into an electronic aid. Studies by Clare, Wilson, Breen & Hodges (1999), Clare, Wilson, Carter, Gosses, Breen & Hodges (2000) Clare, Wilson, Carter, Hodges & Adams (2001), Clare, Wilson, Carter, Roth and Hodges (2002) and Clare, Wilson, Carter and Hodges (2003) have found that errorless learning can be useful for retraining facename associations, personal information and use of memory aids for people with dementia. These positive effects of errorless learning have been attributed to the interference of errors in learning when explicit memory is impaired Page et al, 2006).…”

“…Similarly, after providing a four-component program of case management, psychosocial rehabilitation, individual counseling, and training of staff for elderly in 13 licensed residential care facilities, Gottesman, Peskin, Kennedy, and Mossey (1991) found no change in cognition, instrumental activities, or psychiatric symptoms. However, recently Clare et al (2000) found that five participants with dementia (MMSE scores 21-26) who received individual interventions improved their everyday memory function, and maintained the gains at 6 months. Yet few nursing homes offer cognitive rehabilitation programs (Gabrel, 2000;Kane, Chen, Blewett, & Sangl, 1996;Lopez & Mermelstein, 1995;Moseley, 1995;Wilson, 1993).…”

This quasi-experimental study examined the effectiveness of the Cognitive Behavioral Model of Everyday Memory (CBMEM) on memory self-efficacy and memory performance of the elderly. Thirty residents from a county nursing home in Northeast Ohio participated. Forty-three percent of the sample were depressed and 57% were cognitively impaired. There were 30 subjects in the experimental group. Class attendance was low (M = 4.48); the dropout rate was 58%. As a result, among the 30 individuals in the experimental group, posttest data were available for only 13 subjects. There were no pre-to posttest differences in total memory performance scores. However, immediate story recall significantly (p ≤.01) increased (M 1 =.67; M 2 = 1.33). The experimental group also made significant gains (p ≤.0001) in memory self-efficacy (M 1 = 35.84; M 2 = 41.87). While the intervention helped these vulnerable individuals improve their memory, future interventions may need to specifically target the problems of individuals with depression and those with cognitive impairments. Nevertheless, there is hope for improvement, as shown both here and in other memory improvement studies, and therefore the efforts to develop effective interventions need to continue. KeywordsMemory intervention; memory self-efficacy; memory performance; depression Both short-and long-term memory loss are manifest in 53% of the nation's 1.56 million nursing home residents-of whom 48% have Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (Krauss & Altman, 1998). Interestingly, Huppert and Beardsall (1993) found that elderly with minimal dementia performed as poorly on prospective memory items as elderly with severe dementia. In addition, according to the 1996 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) report, 20% of nursing home residents have a diagnosis of depression. Memory complaints may be a sign of depression, a lack of confidence in memory-demanding tasks, a sign of anxiety about performance, or a way to mask cognitive abilities so that attention to daily care is not compromised. Analyzing 99 studies of recall and 48 studies of recognition, Burt, Zembar, and Niederehe (1995) found a significant association between depression and memory impairment. In a study of anosognosia (unawareness of neurological or neuropsychological deficit) for dementia, McDougall (1998a) found that the metamemory components of capacity and change differed significantly between individuals with cognitive impairment who were not depressed Address correspondence to: Dr. Graham J.

“…Esta oscilação deverá ser compreendida, na opinião dos autores, em parte pela falta de adequação da introdução de determinada ajuda externa, no quotidiano de um indivíduo, isto é, o envelhecimento não é homogêneo entre os indivíduos, devendo ser avaliado cada sujeito no sentido de se percepcionar qual a melhor estratégia de compensação a introduzir. Neste sentido, o estudo de Clare et al (2000), vem acentuar a importância de individualizar e ajustar a intervenção, pois o paciente F, que apenas usou ajuda externa electrónica, nunca se habituou complemente à mesma, tendo-a abandonado, logo após a fase de intervenção. É portanto da opinião dos autores que o uso de ajudas externas deve integrar-se na avaliação de necessidades e no planeamento diário das actividades, traduzindo-se numa intervenção com eficá-cia e com continuidade no follow-up.…”

“…Segundo Bourgeois (1992), Hanley (1986), Kurlychek (1983), citados por Clare et al, 2000), o treino das ajudas externas à memória em pessoas idosas com demência, tem sido investigado num pequeno número de estudos, no entanto Bourgeois et al (2003), afirma que desde os anos 90 o número de estudos publicados, documentando a eficácia das intervenções em indivíduos com demên-cia, têm aumentado bastante, tendo sido testados mais ao nível das lesões cerebrais e da demência, e os resultados demonstram eficácia no follow-up, como refere o estudo de Wilson et al (1997).…”

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.
