Training and Maintenance of a Picture-Based Communication Response in Older Adults with Dementia
Trahan, Maranda A.; Donaldson, Jeanne M.; McNabney, Matthew K.; Kahng, SungWoo
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v47 n2 p404-409 Sum 2014
We examined whether adults with dementia could learn to emit a picture-based communication response and if this skill would maintain over time. Three women with moderate to severe dementia were taught to exchange a picture card for a highly preferred activity. All participants quickly learned to exchange the picture card and maintained this response without practice.
