Description

The PQRST method of studying is widely promoted in Western nations. This strategy consists of five steps : Preview, Question, Read, Self-Recitation and Test, which revealed relative effectiveness compared to the other strategies. Now we are going to report on a successful case of PQRST training for a duration of 2 months, with a patient who had memory problems seven and a half months after his brain injury. Usually PQRST approach uses verbal cues, but we also used visual cues because his visual memory was relatively intact. In this case, it was hypothesized that the PQRST approach would stimulate his retention ability would improve. We also examined an erroeless learning approach which Baddeley had disclosed the efficacy of, and this we confirmed. The patient showed a slight degree of perseveration only when studying, it is all the more certain that studying is an effective means of treatment. After treatment his test score improved significantly. He gained progressive performance on episodic memory and daily living activities, and finally he returned to his employment.
