Description
Summary:To examine the effectiveness of videotaped memory training, two groups of middle‐aged and older adults were given imagery training that included videotaped presentation of interactive imagery for object location recall and linking items on a list, and the image‐name match method for name recall. The training group performed significantly better than the waiting list on the initial post‐test, and the two groups were comparable after both groups had received training. Evidence for both maintenance and generalization was found. Videotaped presentation of imagery training is effective for mature adults as a self‐paced at‐home intervention, and has cost‐saving advantages over the predominant training methodology.
