Memory improvement program for elderly cancer survivors

Abstract

Elderly cancer survivors report difficulty with attention, concentration, and memory. This study tested the effectiveness of the Cognitive Behavioral Model of Everyday Memory, an efficacy-based intervention designed to improve memory performance, memory self-efficacy, and metamemory in older adult cancer survivors and those with other chronic conditions. The study provides interesting new evidence that the responses of a group of elders to training varies depending on their health status.
