Abstract/Notes: Objectives To construct a training protocol for spaced retrieval (SR) and to investigate the effectiveness of SR and Montessori-based activities in decreasing eating difficulty in older residents with dementia. Methods A single evaluator, blind, and randomized control trial was used. Eighty-five residents with dementia were chosen from three special care units for residents with dementia in long-term care facilities in Taiwan. To avoid any confounding of subjects, the three institutions were randomized into three groups: spaced retrieval, Montessori-based activities, and a control group. The invention consisted of three 30–40 min sessions per week, for 8 weeks. Results After receiving the intervention, the Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia (EdFED) scores and assisted feeding scores for the SR and Montessori-based activity groups were significantly lower than that of the control group. However, the frequencies of physical assistance and verbal assistance for the Montessori-based activity group after intervention were significantly higher than that of the control group, which suggests that residents who received Montessori-based activity need more physical and verbal assistance during mealtimes. In terms of the effects of nutritional status after intervention, Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) in the SR group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Conclusion This study confirms the efficacy of SR and Montessori-based activities for eating difficulty and eating ability. A longitudinal study to follow the long-term effects of SR and Montessori-based activities on eating ability and nutritional status is recommended. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract/Notes: Cet article entend tenter de rendre compte du régime spatio-temporel spécifique qui est celui des enfants de maternelle Montessori, ce dernier entrant en contradiction ou en friction avec la forme scolaire traditionnelle. Ces pratiques entendent en effet modifier le centre de gravité du « travail » de l’enseignant vers l’enfant, et pour cela libérer le mouvement de ce dernier. [This article attempts to give an account of the specific spatio-temporal mode of Montessori schools, which is in conflict with the traditional “school form”. These practices intend to modify the center of gravity of the activities of the school, from the teacher towards the child, and for this to release the movement of the latter. We first propose to define what a Montessori practice might be, or to define the questions and problems that such an attempt at definition raises; we then seek to describe the primary effect that this spatio-temporal mode produces in the classroom: child walkers, or nomadic children.]
