Abstract
Memory impairments are handicapping to those who suffer them, and a number of ways of trying to help those afflicted have been devised. Effective psychological approaches are likely to be based on methods designed either to make the most efficient use of remaining memory capacity, or to alter the environment so as to reduce the demands placed on memory. At present the success of such approaches is limited.Keywords
