Self-Mediation and Requests for Repetition

Self-mediation is a compensatory technique used by persons who are having some sort of difficulty processing information. It may be a full repetition of the stimulus question or a sub-vocalization of part of that stimulus message.

A request for repetition is another compensatory technique used for the same purpose except that it tends to occur less frequently and needs to be encouraged and reinforced when it does occur.
