Abstract
Spaced-retrieval (SR) is a memory intervention strategy that involves repetition priming to successfully elicit target behaviors at increasingly longer intervals. SR has proven effective with various groups of cognitively impaired individuals when conducted face-to face. In this study, three persons with dementia in an assisted living facility were trained to recall target information using SR delivered over the telephone. The results from this study suggest that this method of delivering the SR intervention can be successful, and has potential as an intervention for persons whose hearing is normal and who cannot travel to therapists for regular treatment sessions.
