May aid pill-name learning in memory impairment; hypothesis-generating and challenges errorless training assumptions.
Does adjusted spaced retrieval training improve free recall in participants with Alzheimer's disease or alcohol-induced memory impairment compared to uniform retrieval training?
Adjusted spaced retrieval training is effective for teaching pill names to people with Alzheimer's disease or alcohol-induced memory impairment, challenging the hypothesis that its efficacy relies on limiting errors during training.
Hochhalter et al. (2004) studied Alzheimer's disease or alcohol-induced memory impairment. Adjusted spaced retrieval training vs. Uniform retrieval training was evaluated on Free recall of one pill name. Adjusted spaced retrieval training enabled most participants to learn a pill name, whereas no participants learned with uniform retrieval training.
