Although low levels of memory strategy use have been found in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), few studies have explored the effectiveness of interventions for improving strategy use with this population. In two studies, we examined the short- and longer term effectiveness of rehearsal strategy training. In Study 1, children with ASD made strong gains during a focused teaching session, but rehearsal strategy use was not well maintained after training. In Study 2, we increased training with multiple individualized sessions. Longer term maintenance of gains occurred, demonstrating the possibility of successfully teaching and generalizing of strategy use, findings that have important implications for classroom and intervention contexts with children with ASD.

Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

This study investigated caregiver outcomes when a psychoeducation program for older people with dementia and caregivers is modified to extend practice in memory strategies. Moderation effects of increased memory strategy use were also explored. Fifty-six care dyads participated in the multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing psychoeducation (active control) with psychoeducation and memory strategy practice (intervention). Primary outcome was memory strategy use; secondary outcome was caregiver emotional reactivity (burden, depression, and anxiety). Results showed memory strategy use significantly increased following psychoeducation for both groups. However, psychoeducation combined with memory strategy practice resulted in a significant reduction in depression for caregivers reporting at least mild baseline symptoms. Greater use of memory strategies moderated the relationship between burden and depression following intervention. Psychoeducation programs that incorporate practical memory strategy training may offer more substantial outcomes.

AbstractObjectives: Subjective memory complaints (SMC) in older adults are associated with a decline in everyday functioning and an increased risk for future cognitive decline. This study examines the effect of a memory strategy training compared to a control memory training on memory functioning in daily life. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial with baseline, post-treatment, and 6-month follow-up assessments conducted in 60 older adults (50–87 years) with SMC. Participants were randomly assigned to either seven sessions of memory strategy training or seven sessions of control memory training. Both interventions were given in small groups and included psycho-education. Primary outcome measure was memory functioning in daily life. Objective measures of memory performance and self-reported measures of strategy use were included as secondary outcome measures. Results: Participants in each intervention group reported an improvement in personal memory goals (p<.0005), up to 6 months after training. An interaction effect showed that participants following memory strategy training reported a larger improvement in personal memory goals (p=.002). Both intervention groups improved on two memory tests (p<.001 and p<.01). In the memory strategy training group, an increase in strategy use in daily life was the strongest predictor (p<.05) of improvement in subjective memory functioning. Conclusions: Older adults with subjective memory complaints benefit from memory strategy training, especially in their memory functioning in daily life. (JINS, 2018, 24, 1110–1120)

Abstract Objectives Older adults often use memory strategies to assist with age-associated memory changes, and interventions targeting successful memory strategy use may promote independence. However, individuals vary in their use of memory strategies. We investigated individual difference factors involved in memory strategy use in older adults. Method As part of a larger study on stress and aging, 123 healthy community-dwelling adults over the age of 50 completed various assessments. The present analyses included 91 participants (54% female, mean age 60.80, SD = 8.75) who had completed all measures of interest. Reported external and internal memory strategy use and anxiety about memory ability were measured by the Metamemory in Adulthood (MIA) questionnaire. Psychological variables were measured by the Geriatric Depression Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and MIA. Memory and working memory performance were assessed using the RBANS, Auditory-Verbal Learning Test, and Auditory Consonant Trigrams. Results Within the context of our model, we found that education (p = .036) and anxiety about memory performance (p = .010) predicted internal memory strategy use, while gender (p = .011), education (p &lt; .001), and anxiety about memory ability (p = .011) predicted external memory strategy use. None of the other variables were related to memory strategy use. Conclusions Though cross-sectional in nature, our results have implications for understanding successful memory strategy use. Regarding demographics, female gender and higher education predicted external memory strategy use, while only education predicted internal memory strategy use. Also, anxiety about memory performance predicted the use of internal and external memory strategies rather than objective memory performance.
