| Opplysninger | Numerous recent studies have addressed the question of whether memorycan be improved in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Evidencefrom both experimental studies and intervention work suggests that ADexerts a substantial effect not only on memory functioning ingeneral, but also influences the potential for memory improvement.Contrary to previous claims, however, several recent studies indicatethat AD patients can utilize cognitive support to improve memoryunder certain conditions. To achieve performance gains fromexperimental manipulations or intervention procedures in AD, itappears that cognitive support must be provided at the time of bothinformation acquisition and subsequent information retrieval. Inaddition, there is evidence that cognitive intervention in AD standsa greater chance of succeeding when the training is based onfunctions that are relatively well preserved as opposed to functionsthat are severely impaired.
