vanishing cues methodology

a computer-assisted training technique designed to teach new, complex knowledge to individuals with memory impairment. The technique takes advantage of the patient’s preserved ability to respond to partial cues. Initially, as much information is provided as is needed for the patient to make a correct response. Across learning trials, information is gradually withdrawn until the patient can respond correctly in the absence of any cues.
