This music and picture quiz is a stand alone short CST activity session, based on long term memory recall. Hopefully members will not only recognise the advertising slogan, but in some instances remember the songs and actual adverts as well.
The idea of using reminiscence materials such as these advertising slogans with people who have cognitive impairment is they access long term memory, which is often better preserved than short term memory. Also they use music and rhythm which is often better retained in people who have dementia than language. Thus people can feel an improved sense of self-worth, in so much as they have the feeling, 'Gosh I remembered all those things from way back!'
To make the session even more enjoyable and multi-sensory, perhaps have a few advertised items on stand by to try, for example, 'Bird's Angel Delight', 'Marmite' on toast, a cup of 'Ovaltine' and some 'Brut' to "splash all over"c. Overall these activities are intended to be fun and promote feelings of nostalgia and good humour. Whilst they are intended to give members' brains a bit of a 'work out', they are not intended to be used as a memory test. Rather, let people chime in with their recollections, give some clues, maybe describe the item if people get stuck, or give the first word or initial. Celebrate achievement, highlight positive contributions, share laughter. Avoid highlighting memory failure, rather use terms as 'Oh that was a great guess' or 'Close'.
I hope your group members enjoy this activity. Let me know if I missed any obvious adverts and I will add them.
