- The Utilization of Internal and External Memory Strategies in Evidence-Based Practice. EBP Briefs. Volume 14, Issue 1 Davis, Emily Wolff, Jennifer Murdock, Rebecca Lopez, Myrelsa J. Murphy, Kimberly A. Adults Patients Head Injuries Neurological Impairments Memory Mnemonics Language Impairments Evidence Based Practice Outcomes of Treatment Speech Language Pathology Intervention Clinical Question: For adult patients with cognitive linguistic impairment because of traumatic brain injury (TBI), is the use of internal and/or external memory strategies beneficial to memory outcomes compared to alternative or no treatment? Method: Systematic Review. Study Sources: Comprehensive EBSCOhost database search (i.e., ERIC, Academic Search Complete, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Education Source), speechBITE, Cochrane Library, PubMed, PsycINFO, PsycBITE, and the ASHA Practice Portal. Search Terms: traumatic brain injury OR TBI AND intervention OR treatment OR therapy, cognit*, memory, internal strateg* OR external strateg*. Number of Included Studies: 11. Primary Results: The use of internal and external strategies to facilitate positive memory outcomes for TBI patients is supported. A variety of internal and external strategies have been studied with consistent positive results. Conclusion: Both internal and external strategies should be considered for use as compensatory techniques for memory impairments in adults with traumatic brain injuries. The evidence presented in this paper explores a variety of internal and external strategies, and outcomes have revealed an overall positive effect. These strategies have important implications for clinical decision-making for improving patient quality of life after TBI.
