Prompting Devices: A Survey of Memory Aids for Task Sequencing
نویسندگان
چکیده
People with mild to medium cognitive impairments may have difficulty with remembering when to perform an activity of daily living (ADL). For people with more severe cognitive impairments, it can be difficult to learn and/or recall the sequence of steps needed to complete a task. In this paper, we present a survey of devices that provide step-by-step detail of ADL tasks with picture, text, audio, video, and/or vibration prompts. We provide a description of each device’s overall capabilities, an analysis of contextual awareness and automatic plan adaptation, and end-user evaluation.

Psychometric Properties of the Persian Word Pairs Task for Declarative Memory Assessment
Objective: According to the declarative/procedural model, the semantic aspect of language depends on the brain structures responsible for declarative memory. The word pairs task is a common tool for evaluating declarative memory. The current study aimed to design a valid and reliable task for evaluating declarative memory in Persian children at learning and retention stages and to investigate i...
متن کاملThe Development of Reading and Operation Span Tasks in Persian as Measures of Working Memory Capacity for Iranian EFL Learners
This paper presented two complex span tasks in Persian as measures of working memory capacity (WMC). Firstly, the construct of working memory (WM) and possible WM measures that could assess this construct efficiently were critically reviewed. Accordingly, as measures of domain-general components of WM, a reading span task and an operation span task which were documented to assess this construct...

متن کاملWalking while memorizing: age-related differences in compensatory behavior.
This study investigated predictions of the life-span theory of selection, optimization, and compensation, focusing on different patterns of task priority during dual-task performance in younger and older adults. Cognitive (memorizing) and sensorimotor (walking a narrow track) performance were measured singly, concurrently, and when task difficulty was manipulated. Use of external aids was measu...
