Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to compare the conventional method of memory acquisition by repetitive practice with the method using applied behavior analysis, and to search for an effective method of memory acquisition. However, this study will focus on healthy subjects because it is difficult to compare the methods with actual subjects with higher functional disabilities or dementia. Therefore, as a basic research on the influence of different rehearsal methods in the semantic memory process, this study focuses on rehearsal in the memory process and compares the number of words memorized by ordinary repetitive practice and the method using applied behavior analysis, targeting terminated students aged 18 to 23.

Interventions/Control_1

The style of the prompts used to indicate the action procedure will be compared between a (written prompts) and b (video or photo prompts) to see if they affect the memory of the action procedure.

Interventions/Control_2

We will compare A (prompt-fading method) and B (time-delay method) prompts (giving method) to examine whether they affect the memory of the action procedure.

Interventions/Control_3

To compare the difficulty of rehearsal in the memory process between (1) (shaping method) and (2) (method of remembering targets at once) and to examine whether it affects the memory of the movement procedure.

40

Results

The set number wherein all movement elements were recalled was significantly lower in the intervention method than in the control condition (p < 0.01).
movement elements that were recalled in which all participants performed the task in both conditions and the number of consecutive recall after 7 days are shown in significantly fewer in the intervention method than in the control condition (p < 0.01).

Baseline Characteristics

In physical therapy, we experience subjects who have the motor functions necessary for movement but need constant instruction in movement procedures. Continued failure in movement practice without success may cause learned helplessness, which may affect other learning. Error-free learning is effective against these problems, and studies using intervention methods based on concepts from applied behavior analysis have been reported1) . 1) Interventions for movement memory may be an essential strategy for physical therapy.
In this study, we investigated the effects of two different visual teaching methods on recall of movement procedures in young healthy subjects.

Participant flow

Participants were 40 university students (20 males and 20 females, mean age 20.4 years). Participants performed a task in which they memorized and recalled movements consisting of 10 movement elements (10 standing postures). Two types of movements were used in the task (movement A and B), and two types of memory methods were used (control and intervention conditions). Movements A and B consisted of the same 10 movement elements, but in a different order.
In the control condition, participants memorized the sequence from 1 to 10 while looking at a paper with pictures of the 10 movements arranged in order. In the intervention condition, the 10 movement elements were divided into five blocks of two movements each, and the examiner first presented the participants with a piece of paper depicting two movement elements and asked them to memorize the movements. When the participants judged that they had memorized the blocks themselves, they were asked to demonstrate without looking at the paper. The examiner checked whether the participant's movements matched the movements on the paper, and if they were correct, the participant was given a picture of the next block and the same instructions. If the movements were incorrect, the participant was instructed to re-memorize the incorrect block.
In both conditions, each set consisted of a 30-second task study, a one-minute verification test, and a video evaluation of the movements and feedback. Two judges viewed the video and made judgments during the confirmation test. The judging items were movement agreement and movement speed (80 bpm per movement: checked with a metronome). In the control condition, the participants relearned the movements using a piece of paper with 1 to 10 movement elements, regardless of whether or not they had made an error in the verification test. In the intervention condition, learning of the next task started from the block in which the error was made. The task was terminated when the correct sequence of actions from 1 to 10 was performed in the confirmation test.

Adverse events

The method of memorizing the movement procedures is not expected to impose a significant physical burden on the research subjects. However, there is a possibility of mental fatigue and burden due to the amount of memorization. In addition, no burden or risk is considered to arise from participation in this study.

Outcome measures

The correctness or incorrectness of the order of movements and combinations of movement elements in each set, and in the intervention condition, the block numbers at the beginning and end of the set were recorded. In addition, the median difference between conditions, the number of sets in which all 10 movements were recalled, the number of consecutive recalls per set (up to a set in which at least one of the 10 movements was correctly completed), and the number of consecutive recalls after 7 days were calculated. A psychological questionnaire was also administered during the implementation of the study.
