Research concerning remediation of memory disorders has frequently been concerned with mnemonic techniques that demand a great deal of elaborative and effortful processing. The present study examines a relatively simple technique, known as spaced retrieval, in which patients are taught to retrieve information at increasingly long temporal intervals after initial presentation. Results indicated that the spaced-retrieval technique aided patients' learning of new information. There was also evidence of learning to learn: Two of the four patients who were studied learned to use the technique in the absence of explicit cues from the experimenter. Issues pertaining to the possible usefulness of spaced retrieval in everyday life are discussed.
关于记忆障碍修复的研究常常关注那些需要大量精细且费力处理的记忆技巧。本研究考察了一种相对简单的技巧，即间隔检索，在这种技巧中，患者被教导在初次呈现信息后，以越来越长的时间间隔来检索信息。结果表明，间隔检索技巧有助于患者学习新信息。也有学习如何学习的证据：在接受研究的四名患者中，有两名患者在没有实验者明确提示的情况下学会了运用该技巧。文中还讨论了间隔检索在日常生活中可能的有用性相关问题。
