Visit 7

Abstract

The first goal of the penultimate visit is to review active listening and verbal rehearsal skills for socializing by asking about what strategies were used, for what, when, and where and modifying as needed. The second goal is to review fatigue management and sleep quality improvement by asking what strategies were used, for what, when, and where and modifying as needed. The third goal is to introduce the internal strategy of visualization, including the rationale and reviewing visual–auditory associations. Emphasizing novelty and humor to evoke emotion and deepen memory is also covered. The strategies taught are simple visualization, name–face mnemonic, and the method of loci. The final goal, as customary, is to assign homework, including identifying, practicing, and applying relevant visualization strategies “in the real world.”
