What is the normalization principle in memory training?
Answer
The normalization principle is using the most normal processes to help a client with memory impairments achieve as normal of outcomes as possible. As an example, a client might be willing to carry a small, unobtrusive memory device versus a larger, more obvious device. This principle uses techniques that are not stigmatizing. Another example might be to place objects needed for work or school by the front door as a reminder. Children can also benefit from these techniques such as: memory aids, front door bins for items, schedules, checklists, etc. Scaffolding is another technique that could be used to help normalize their routine. Scaffolding involves providing less structure and help over time as the process becomes more routine or habit. This level of memory requires less executive function.
