Effects of Spaced Retrieval Training Combined with Errorless Learning on Working Memory in Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy; A Case Report

Abstract

Background/Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of spaced retrieval training combined with errorless learning on working memory in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy with single case report.

Methods/Statistical analysis The subject was a 29-years-old man. The intervention was performed for 30 minutes per section and 12 times in total. The outcome measure was used the Rey-complex figure test for the cognitive function especially for memory function.

Findings: The subject showed a significant increase in the memory function after the intervention. As a result of this study, the recall success rate of subjects per session increased by more than 2% to baseline A 25.3%, intervention period B 28.0%, and baseline A' 27.3%. In addition, as a result of the Rey-complex figure test, it was significantly increased by 3.5 points in immediate recall and 3 points in delayed recall.

Improvements/Applications: This study demonstrated space retrieval training combined with errorless learning showed significant increase in the memory function for the hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
