Long‐term efficacy of cognitive training for age‐associated memory impairment: A six‐month follow‐up study

Remembering Numbers in Old Age: Mnemonic Training Versus Self-Generated Strategy Training

“…These findings may be contrasted against memory training research yielding no beneficial effects of self-guided training beyond that of control groups (Hill, Sheikh, & Yesavage, 1987, 1988Lachman, Weaver, Bandura, Elliott, & Lewkowicz, 1992;Sheikh, Hill, & Yesavage, 1986). However, the small effects in these studies may reflect the limited amount of self-guided practice provided, focusing on general cognitive activation rather than on task-relevant skills.…”

“…The result that the self-generated strategy group showed training-related gains is intriguing, as this has not been shown in prior memory training research comparing self-guided training with tutor-guided training (Hill, Sheikh, & Yesavage, 1987& Yesavage, , 1988Lachman, Weaver, Bandura, Elliott, & Lewkowicz, 1992;Sheikh, Hill, & Yesavage, 1986). Yet, the results are in line with findings from fluid intelligence training with older adults (Baltes, Kliegl, et al, 1988;Baltes, Sowarka, et al, 1989;Blackburn, et al, 1988;Hayslip, 1989).…”

Recovering Memories of the Offense in ?Amnesic?? Sexual Offenders

“…Tulving and Thomson (1973), for example, reported that changing the retrieval cues used by the subjects led to recall of previously forgotten material. The types of cues that best facilitate recall are contextual reinstatement (Kihlstrom & Barnhardt, 1993;Wilkinson, 1988) and the use of imagery techniques (Shiekh, Hill, & Yesavage, 1987;Wilson, 1987).…”

The Effectiveness of the Keyword Method for Receptive and Productive Foreign Vocabulary Learning in the Elderly

“…West and Crook (1992) for example, found significant effects on list learning in elderly subjects of using imagery linking to relate one object to the next. Sheikh, Hill, and Ysavage (1986) found imagery instruction to facilitate name-face association, where a characteristic of an individual's facial feature is linked by interactive imagery to the characteristic of the name. Suppose, for example, a Mr. Fox is to be remembered.…”
