“…Reality testing helped LB see the impact that his difficulties were having on his everyday life and therefore highlighted the need for efficient compensatory strategies. The beneficial effect of reality testing is potentially generalisable to other patients who lack awareness and has already been reported by other authors (e.g., Fluharty & Priddy, 1993). LB reported feeling quite "technophobic" about electronic aids and struggled to use a mobile phone.…”

“…He also experienced anxiety, and was low in mood. Previous reports have suggested that mood can adversely influence the outcome of rehabilitation (Fluharty & Priddy, 1993;Malec, Schafer, & Jacket, 1992), therefore LB's mood was monitored throughout the present study.…”

“…Using commercially available notebooks, such as those used by many people, helped to reduce stigma. Hopefully, the ability to remember personally important material became intrinsically rewarding and encouraged future use of the notebook (Fluharty & Priddy, 1993). Donaghy and Williams (1998) removed the diary between training sessions to ensure that participants did not get into "bad habits" while learning.…”

There is extensive literature demonstrating that restoration of memory is not a realistic goal for rehabilitation and that efforts are more effective if focused on developing compensatory strategies. This paper compares two formats of memory notebook using an ABAB single-case experimental design with a 46-year-old man with a history of head injury. Results revealed significantly better performance on a series of prospective memory tasks for the "modified" notebook. The study highlights the importance of tailoring the diary to the patient's needs and giving careful consideration to the way in which the diary is introduced.

“…Though assistive devices can be invaluable, people with cognitive deficits may be reluctant to use them in public if this may label them as impaired or disabled [8,13]. As a result, there is often a stigma associated with assistive technologies [12], leading to lower acceptance rates of such devices.…”

We present the participatory design and evaluation of an orientation aid for individuals who have anterograde amnesia. Our design team included six amnesics who have extreme difficulty storing new memories. We describe the methods we used to enable the participation of individuals with such severe cognitive impairments. Through this process, we have conceived, designed, and developed the OrientingTool, a software application for Personal Digital Assistants that can be used by amnesics to orient themselves when feeling lost or disoriented. Two complementary studies were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this tool in ecologically valid contexts. Our findings suggest that the OrientingTool can improve an amnesic's independence and confidence in managing situations when disoriented, and that participatory design may be productively used with participants who have significant cognitive disabilities.

Methods of increasing client acceptance of a memory book

Abstract: This case history describes the successful use of a commercially available memory book by a brain injury survivor, including a description of the characteristics which made the book acceptable. Implications of the normalization principle for memory rehabilitation are also discussed.
