Although the findings indicated that people with AD were able to encode information during training, recall gains diminished by the end of the maintenance period.Discussion: This study provides evidence that individuals with mild to moderate AD can learn and recall new episodic information through SR training. These findings support the use of SR as an intervention tool to help individuals maintain their functioning in episodic recent memory. However, more research into maintaining the long-term recall of recent episodic events is warranted.Keywords: spaced retrieval, Alzheimer’s disease, memory, training, rehabilitation, episodicSmall JACochrane DDove Medical Pressarticlespaced retrievalalzheimer’s diseasememorytrainingrehabilitationepisodic.GeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 15, Pp 519-536 (2020)
