“…With regard to mood state, the results confirmed the hypothesis (e.g., Bolla et al, 1991;Cipoli et al, 1996;Jungwith et al, 2004;Pearman & Storandt, 2004) that depressive symptoms are predictive of more negative self-referent beliefs about memory, a result that generalized across the distinction between retrospective and prospective memory. The present finding that depression scores predicted variance in subjective memory over and beyond the personality factors is well in line with research by Pearman and Storandt (2004), suggesting that the influence of depressive mood on self-reported failures was not completely mediated by personality factors, even though a majority of the variance appeared to be shared, much in line with a hypothesis that much of the influence of depression is mediated by variations in personality.…”

“…The inclusion of a measure of depressive symptoms was motivated by findings from several prior studies in which individuals who exhibited more depressive symptoms tended to provide more negative evaluations of their own memory functioning (e.g., Bolla et al, 1991;Cipoli et al, 1996;Jungwirth et al, 2004;Pearman & Storandt, 2004). A possible explanation for this result is the principle of mood congruent recall (Matt, Vázquez, & Campbell, 1992), with a bias toward recalling failures in a dysphoric mood state.…”

In this article, the authors examined predictors of self-reported everyday memory failures using the Prospective and Retrospective Questionnaire (PRMQ; Smith, Della Sala, Logie, & Maylor, 2000) in a population-based sample of older adults (age range = 60-90 years; N = 250). The results showed that a higher frequency of reported failures was associated with lower scores on the personality dimension of self-directedness as assessed by the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI; Cloninger, Dragan, Svrakic, & Przybeck, 1993) and more depressive symptoms on the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D; Radloff, 1977). However, PRMQ scores showed no relationships with objective memory ability, as reflected by a series of retrospective memory measures and a measure of prospective memory. Neither were the PRMQ scales associated with general cognitive functioning as assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE; Folstein, Folstein, & McHugh, 1977). Taken together, the results indicate that within the older population, self-reported memory as assessed by the PRMQ may reflect mood-state and personality factors rather than individual differences in memory and cognitive ability.

“…As judged from extant research of participant characteristics associated with memory complaints, interindividual variability with regard to several psychological and social dimensions contribute to the reported extent of memory failures (apart from actual frequencies of occurrence), including emotional factors such as depressive mood states (e.g., Cipoli et al ., 1996; Pearman & Storandt, 2004) and stress (Neupert, Almeida, Mroczek & Spiro III, 2006; Oliver et al ., 2005). Potentially, the presence of feedback from other persons constitutes an additional factor that moderates the reported frequency of memory failures.…”

The factorial structure of the Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (PRMQ; Smith et al., 2000) was examined in a Swedish population based sample (N= 540, age range; 35-90 years). Concurrent validity was assessed by relating PRMQ to global ratings of memory. Confirmatory factor analyses of the PRMQ items indicated a superior fit of a three-factor model, with prospective and retrospective memory as orthogonal factors and episodic memory as a common factor. Furthermore, the PRMQ scales correlated with the global ratings of memory, suggesting that each rating contributed with unique variance in predicting PRMQ scores. Given differences in levels of complaints as compared with prior research (Crawford et al., 2003) norms for the Swedish version are provided. In conclusion, the present findings extend earlier work by providing additional support for the construct and concurrent validity of the PRMQ scales.

“…Depression is a common symptom after stroke and there is substantial evidence that depression interferes with metamemory (Aben et al, 2002;Cipolli et al, 1996). In future studies depression should not be an exclusion criterion and should be assessed with a validated measure.…”

Metamemory and memory test performance in stroke patients

Memory Self-Efficacy (MSE) has been shown to be related to memory performance and social participation in a healthy elderly population. This relation is unclear in stroke. As about 30% of all stroke survivors report memory complaints, there is an urgent need for effective treatment strategies. Before implementing MSE as a potential target in memory training, it should be examined whether the association between MSE and memory performance demonstrated in healthy elderly people also applies in stroke patients. This study therefore explored the predictive value of MSE on two kinds of memory tests in stroke patients; adjusted and unadjusted for age, gender, education and location of stroke. In 57 stroke patients, the Metamemory in Adulthood Questionnaire (MIA), an everyday memory test (RBMT) and a more traditional memory test (AVLT) were completed. The results show that MSE significantly predicts memory test performance on both memory tests (RBMT: beta = .34; p = .01 AVLT: beta = .28; p = .04). When adjusted for gender, age, education and location of stroke, the predictive value of MSE remained significant for the AVLT (RBMT: beta = .23; p = .07; AVLT: beta = .23; p = .05). The results support the hypothesis that MSE predicts test performance in stroke patients and, by consequence, enables improving memory performance in post-acute memory rehabilitation after stroke.
