“…The measures of general psychological well-being and depressive symptoms could also potentially influence subjective memory functioning, as various studies have shown correlations between subjective memory and affective measures [6,7]. In the present review, apart from EC over conventional MT, none of the interventions had any reliable effects on either depression or well-being.…”

“…Yet another perspective comes from psychosomatic research: memory complaint without known organic impairment could be a disorder in its own right. Various authors have suggested that subjective memory complaints (SMC) in this sense could be viewed as a type of somatoform disorder [5,6,7,8]. …”

“…Persons with SMC in this sense can experience disruption of daily occupational and social activity, which can consequently become an important secondary stress factor. A vicious circle may be set in motion: the patients’ perceived memory lapses could initially be caused by psychological stress [7,8]. If memory problems are noticed, they can lead to anger and fear.…”

Background: Subjective memory complaints (SMC) in the absence of psychiatric or neurological disorders are common among older adults. Although increasing numbers of individuals are suffering from SMC, research into interventions alleviating SMC is sparse. The present systematic review was conducted in order to present a clearer picture of the quality, quantity and outcomes of SMC intervention research. Methods: PubMed and PsychInfo were searched with a comprehensive search string delivering 4,496 hits. Abstracts and – if applicable – full texts of these studies were screened by independent raters according to predefined criteria. Fourteen relevant studies were included in the review. The categories of intervention were: conventional memory training (MT; n = 8), expectancy change (EC: cognitive restructuring, psychoeducation, etc.; n = 5), combined interventions (n = 5), physical training (n = 1), and physical and mental training combined (n = 2). The outcomes were: subjective memory measures, objective memory, depressive symptoms and well-being. Results: EC, followed by combined interventions, was most efficient in influencing subjective memory. MT or physical and mental training combined were not efficient. On objective memory, MT was the only efficient intervention. No effects were found on depressive symptoms and well-being, with low numbers of studies in these comparisons. Conclusion: EC seems to be most efficient in influencing SMC, whereas in objective memory MT is the only effective intervention. Depressive symptoms or well-being do not seem to be influenced significantly by any of the interventions. To date, the number of high-quality publications on SMC interventions is relatively low. More randomized controlled trials including measures of depressive symptoms and well-being are needed.

“…For example, when attention is removed from the task at hand (e.g., going into a room to retrieve an item) or even subconsciously, by being focussed on a life event, a resulting attentional slip (i.e., forgetting what the particular item was) can prompt people with FMD to misattribute these memory lapses to neuropathology. This can cause greater rumination and worry about memory slips as described in Schmidtke, Metternich and colleagues' work (8,26). Previous research has also shown that subjective memory complaints are frequently caused by psychiatric disorders, most commonly by a depressive disorder, and these patients are often seen in memory clinics (30).…”

Conclusion: Whilst subjective complaints are common within the FMD population, no objective impairment could be detected, even on a sensitive battery of tasks designed to detect subtle deficits caused by a early neurodegenerative brain disease. This study indicates that FMD patients can be successfully differentiated from patients with neurodegenerative memory decline by characterising their neuropsychological profile.

“…Among many dimensions of metacognition, self-beliefs regarding one's memory constitute the most frequent subject of research. Such beliefs can manifest, inter alia, as "memory" complaints, typically considered by clinicians as an objective marker of memory impairment (Metternick, Schmidtke, & Hull, 2009). However, research suggests that relationships between subjective evaluation one's own memory and the true performance are complex, as each of these parameters may be influenced by different variables.…”

The determinants of metamemory beliefs: the effect of Self-relevance and Friend-relevance. How important is anxiety?

Metacognitive beliefs (beliefs about one's own possibilities) are an object of research in several clinical groups. Personality characteristics determine the contents of such beliefs. participants and procedureIn the study of the general population, judgment of learning (JOL) techniques were used. This technique is based on estimating the level of material (words) memorized, then learning and memorizing. There were two types of tasks used: for Self-relevance and Friend-relevance. The task was to express judgments about a friend's (he/she) beliefs (I think he/she thinks...) and about the friend's performance (I think he/she will perform...) in the described task. conclusions Anxiety analyzed as an isolated variable does not explain the character of metacognitive self-beliefs and beliefs regarding a friend. Both our findings and the results of previous studies (3) suggest that the tendency to under-evaluate one's abilities is a frequent characteristic of metacognitive beliefs, being independent of anxiety levels. Future research should center around similar analyses of persons diagnosed with specific types of anxiety-related disorders.key words metacognition/metamemory; anxiety; judgment of learning (JOL); Self-relevance; other (Friend)-relevance Ewa Małgorzata SzepietowskaThe determinants of metamemory beliefs: the effect of Self-relevance and Friend-relevance.
