Description
This task targets short-term and immediate memory deficits in patients receiving speech therapy in skilled nursing facilities (SNF), acute rehabilitation, or outpatient settings. The clinician reads short, functional instructions related to daily life (e.g., appointments, errands, messages). The patient is then asked to recall key details by answering 1–2 comprehension questions immediately after hearing each instruction. This activity promotes functional memory retention, auditory comprehension, and real-world carryover of memory skills
