Memory self-ratings and objective test performance in a normal elderly sample

Memory self-ratings and objective test performance in a normal elderly sample

G J Larrabee et al. J Clin Exp Neuropsychol. 1986 Jun.

Abstract

Self-rated decline in memory relative to estimated abilities at age 60 was investigated in a group of 88 normal elderly subjects age 60 to 90. Self-ratings of storage, retrieval, attention/concentration, remote memory, and depression formed a factor which was orthogonal to objective measures of memory function. Self-rated remote memory was also associated with objective measures of recent/remote memory, and self-rated depression was additionally related to objective measures of attention/concentration.
