Abstract
Background: Understanding the strategies people with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) spontaneously use can inform targeted memory training.
Method: Strategy use was observed for 99 people with aMCI and 100 healthy older adults (HOA) on two memory tasks.
Results: No differences were found between aMCI and HOA in the amount or types of strategies used, but strategy use varied with task. Association was more effective for one task, whereas on the other task, use of written notes or multiple strategies were detrimental to performance and related to poorer performance than active (spaced) retrieval, for aMCI.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest the importance of identifying ineffective habits, in addition to instruction in more beneficial approaches.
期刊介绍：
Experimental Aging Research is a life span developmental and aging journal dealing with research on the aging process from a psychological and psychobiological perspective. It meets the need for a scholarly journal with refereed scientific papers dealing with age differences and age changes at any point in the adult life span. Areas of major focus include experimental psychology, neuropsychology, psychobiology, work research, ergonomics, and behavioral medicine. Original research, book reviews, monographs, and papers covering special topics are published.
