Document Summary
Cognitive rehabilitation of episodic memory disorders: from theory to practice. By radek ptak, martial van der linden, and armin schnider. Repetitive practice of meaningless material has very little or no generalization to everyday life or to untrained material. A scientific theory provides a framework for describing better the level of impairment, gives clues about possible approaches to increase performance, and helps to evaluate such approaches. Since memory rehabilitation attempts to exploit preserved abilities these findings are of particular importance for the remediation of memory disorders. Pros: concrete info (images) is encoded verbally and visually (vs. more abstract info. Example: amnesia following damage to the medial temporal lobes greater impairment of recognition memory (vs. diencephalic and prefrontal damage) Assessing memory deficits: results of memory assessment do not necessarily reflect the degree of independence in. Identifying target problems: memory rehabilitation should be centered on concrete goals should be as specific and concrete as possible.
