Step 1: The clinician and the patient will choose one auditory memory strategy to target that day. 

For example: Visualization

Step 2: The clinician will provide with an example and a visual written description of how to apply the strategy.

For example: Visualization is when you recall an image or create your own image in your mind about the information presented.

Step 3: The clinician will tell her own story and verbally remind the patient of what to remember using the strategy.

For example: The clinician will have a photograph of a shop with different people doing different things. The clinician tells a story about the photograph and points to specific parts of the photograph. 

Step 4: The patient will practice using the strategy during the structured conversation.

For example: The patient will create a visual scene mentally each time the clinician points to a specific part of the photograph. 

Step 5: At the end of the session, the patient will have to verbally summarize or recall information using the strategy taught.

For example: without the photograph, the patient will try to recall all the important details from the story.

***The patient should also tell her own story/conversation, so the clinician can provide a model of how to recall the information using the same strategy***

Independently: The patient recalls all the important details from the conversation.

Model Example: The clinician models how to use the strategy with the clinician's story.

Visual/Auditory/Gestural Cue: The clinician will provide with a clue to help recall specific details about the structured conversation. 

Forced Choice: The clinician will provide two different options to recall a detail from the story/conversation. 

Provide Answer: Show the patient all the details, either visually or written, and talk about what was easy to recall and what was challenging.
