Spaced Retrieval Training to Assist in Wayfinding for Long-Term Care Residents with Dementia

Woeckener, Nichole Lynn

Abstract Details

2012, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Speech and Hearing Science.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Spaced Retrieval (SR) training to assist in wayfinding for long-term care residents with dementia. SR training sessions were analyzed for three individuals with dementia to document the impact of SR training on expected response mastery and generalization to physically going to their room. Results revealed an absence of mastery across in all three participants with the given criterion. There was limited evidence of generalization outside of the training sessions for not yet mastered expected responses. However, anecdotal reports from nursing staff were provided stating an increase in wayfinding abilities.
