Each memory book contained 30 simple sentences and pictures related to subjects’ daily life, family, and themselves. Effects were measured through 5-min daily conversational sessions and at 1- or 2-week follow-up sessions with the experimenter. The results revealed that all subjects increased the number of on-topic factual statements and reduced ambiguous, unintelligible, and perseverative utterances during treatment and follow-up phases with the memory book. Partner prompts diminished to nearly 1 per topic whereas Partner statements and Partner other speech acts increased during memory book conditions. These findings replicate previous research on the effects of memory books on the conversation of English speaking persons with dementia. 2011-07-22 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1306180580 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1306180580 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
