Memory impairment is prevalent in multiple sclerosis (MS). Retrieval practice is a powerful memory technique whereby retrieving information (quizzing oneself) leads to better memory than restudying. In a within-subjects experiment, 12 memory-impaired MS patients encoded verbal paired associates (VPAs) through massed restudy (MR), spaced restudy (SR), or retrieval practice (RP). Half of VPAs were tested after short delay (30 minutes) and half after long delay (one week). RP robustly improved memory more than restudy. Short delay: MR=15.6%, SR=27.1%, RP=72.9%. Long delay: MR=1.0%, SR=4.2%, RP=24.0%. RP was the best memory technique for nearly all patients after both short and long delays.
记忆障碍在多发性硬化症(MS)中很常见。检索练习是一种强大的记忆技术,通过检索信息(自我测验)可以比重复学习更好地提高记忆力。在一项被试内实验中,12 名记忆受损的 MS 患者通过集中重复学习(MR)、间隔重复学习(SR)或检索练习(RP)来编码言语配对联想(VPAs)。一半的 VPAs 在短时间延迟(30 分钟)后进行测试,另一半在长时间延迟(一周)后进行测试。RP 比重复学习更显著地提高了记忆。短时间延迟:MR=15.6%,SR=27.1%,RP=72.9%。长时间延迟:MR=1.0%,SR=4.2%,RP=24.0%。对于几乎所有患者来说,无论是在短时间延迟还是长时间延迟后,RP 都是最好的记忆技术。
