The generalizability of the results from a case study on the effects of an imagery mnemonic on face-name recall in dementia was examined (Hill, Evankovich, Sheikh, & Yesavage, 1987). Seven patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 1 patient with multi-infarct dementia (MID) were trained by using the method devised by Hill et al. Application of the mnemonic increased the time during which face-name associations could be held in memory for 1 AD patient, and this improvement was maintained in a 1-month follow-up assessment. However, no training gains were observed for the remaining 7 patients, thus questioning the generalizability of this method in enhancing memory in dementia.
一项关于形象记忆术对痴呆症患者面部-名字回忆影响的案例研究结果的普遍性得到了检验（希尔、埃万科维奇、谢赫和耶萨维奇，1987年）。七名阿尔茨海默病（AD）患者和一名多发梗死性痴呆（MID）患者采用了希尔等人设计的方法进行训练。该记忆术的应用使一名AD患者能够将面部-名字关联保持在记忆中的时间增加，并且在为期1个月的随访评估中这种改善得以维持。然而，其余7名患者未观察到训练效果的提升，因此对该方法在增强痴呆症患者记忆力方面的普遍性提出了质疑。
