“…Indeed, it has been argued that negative memory beliefs may “be an underlying factor that precipitates avoidance of cognitively challenging situations” (Valentijn et al, 2006, p. 165). Results from cognitive training studies are consistent with this claim in showing that negative memory beliefs are associated with poorer responsiveness to non-memorial training interventions (Payne et al, 2012). The results from the current study suggest that internalizing negative dispositions towards memory beliefs have farther reaching relationships with cognitive ability than had previously been considered in the literature.…”

“…Recently, some studies (Haslam et al, 2012; Jopp & Hertzog, 2007; Payne et al, 2012) have considered broader relationships between memory beliefs and cognition (i.e., outside the domain of memory per se ). For example, a recent epidemiological study examined relationships between subjective memory complaints, memory performance, and cognitive impairment in a large ( N = 16,964) sample of elderly women (Amariglio et al, 2011).…”

With advancing age, episodic memory performance shows marked declines along with concurrent reports of lower subjective memory beliefs. Given that normative age-related declines in episodic memory co-occur with declines in other cognitive domains, we examined the relationship between memory beliefs and multiple domains of cognitive functioning. Confirmatory bi-factor structural equation models were used to parse the shared and independent variance among factors representing episodic memory, psychomotor speed, and executive reasoning in one large cohort study (Senior Odyssey, N = 462), and replicated using another large cohort of healthy older adults (ACTIVE, N = 2,802). Accounting for a general fluid cognitive functioning factor (comprised of the shared variance among measures of episodic memory, speed, and reasoning) attenuated the relationship between objective memory performance and subjective memory beliefs in both samples. Moreover, the general cognitive functioning factor was the strongest predictor of memory beliefs in both samples. These findings are consistent with the notion that dispositional memory beliefs may reflect perceptions of cognition more broadly. This may be one reason why memory beliefs have broad predictive validity for interventions that target fluid cognitive ability.

“…Similarly, Payne et al (2012) found that baseline memory self-efficacy beliefs predicted changes in inductive reasoning following reasoning training with basic (e.g., words, letters, and numbers) and everyday series problems (e.g., completing a mail order form or answering questions about a bus schedule). Memory self-efficacy has also been linked to how older adults employ practice materials (e.g., decreased confidence in memory capacity equated to less time using practice materials) and respond to training (Payne et al, 2012). While many authors have focused on the association between self-efficacy and memory training (e.g., Carretti, Borella, Zavagnin, & De Beni, 2011; Payne et al, 2012; West et al, 2008), none have examined its influence on SOPT.…”

Objective Self-efficacy represents one possible avenue through which cognitive interventions may enhance cognitive functioning in older adults (e.g., Payne et al, 2012; Seeman, McAvay, Merrill, Albert, & Rodin, 1996). In the current study, we examined whether self-efficacy serves as a predictor of responsiveness to cognitive speed of processing training (SOPT).

We used data from the Staying Keen in Later Life (SKILL) study and the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE) study.

Objective Self-efficacy represents one possible avenue through which cognitive interventions may enhance cognitive functioning in older adults (e.g., Payne et al., 2012; Seeman, McAvay, Merrill, Albert, & Rodin, 1996). In the current study, we examined whether self-efficacy serves as a predictor of responsiveness to cognitive speed of processing training (SOPT). Method We used data from the Staying Keen in Later Life (SKILL) study and the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE) study. Both studies assessed cognitive speed of processing (Useful Field of View Test – UFOV) and self-efficacy and randomized community-dwelling older adults into either SOPT or control conditions. The SKILL study included 228 older adults and the ACTIVE study included 1,400 adults in either speed of processing training or control conditions. We constructed regression models examining self-efficacy as a predictor of training responsiveness. Results Regression analysis from both studies indicated that participants’ self-efficacy scores were not predictive of training gains from SOPT, as measured by UFOV performance. Discussion Self-efficacy does not affect an older adults’ ability to benefit from process-based cognitive SOPT.

“…Our female septuagenarian role model, a licensed psychologist, taught the memory training classes. Other memory training programs based on the self-efficacy framework have also produced successful outcomes (Payne et al, 2012;West et al, 2008). All of these intervention programs include elements designed to increase self-efficacy, which are woven into class discussions and homework assignments, and provide opportunities to develop mastery.…”

Previous tests of the SeniorWISE intervention with community-residing older adults that were designed to improve affect and cognitive performance were successful and positively affected these outcomes. In this study, we tested whether adding yoga to the intervention would affect the outcomes. Using a quasiexperimental pre-post design, we delivered 12 hours of SeniorWISE memory training that included a 30-minute yoga component before each training session. The intervention was based on the four components of self-efficacy theory: enactive mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and physiologic arousal. We recruited 133 older adults between the ages of 53 and 96 years from four retirement communities in Central Texas. Individuals were screened and tested and then attended training sessions two times a week over 4 weeks. A septuagenarian licensed psychologist taught the memory training, and a certified yoga instructor taught yoga. Eighty-three participants completed at least 9 hours (75%) of the training and completed the posttest. Those individuals who completed made significant gains in memory performance, instrumental activities of daily living, and memory self-efficacy and had fewer depressive symptoms. Thirteen individuals advanced from poor to normal memory performance, and seven improved from impaired to poor memory performance; thus, 20 individuals improved enough to advance to a higher functioning memory group. The findings from this study of a memory training intervention plus yoga training show that the benefits of multifactorial interventions had additive benefits. The combined treatments offer a unique model for brain health programs and the promotion of nonpharmacological treatment with the goals of maintaining healthy brain function and boosting brain plasticity.
