  3. Need exists for a range of nonpharmacological options in response to increasing incidence of dementia Spaced retrieval has demonstrated effectiveness when delivered intensively and with individuals with moderate to severe dementia Rationale

  4. Assess effectiveness of spaced retrieval training delivered once per week in community dwelling individuals Identify if any long term benefits Ascertain relationship of spaced retrieval training effectiveness with range of cognitive measures Aims of Study

  5. Practise at successfully recalling information over progressively longer intervals Ultimate goal - ability to recall information and/or use skills over clinically meaningful periods of time Spaced Retrieval

  12. Spaced Retrieval: Correlations with Performance * = p < .05, ** = p < .001

  13. Spaced retrieval training generally well tolerated by people in early & moderate stages of dementia Appears to be effective form of memory training when delivered weekly to achieve a variety of goals Appears to be fairly robust post-training, with scope to enhance retention Conclusions
