Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective We investigated whether beliefs about the current versus future effectiveness of memory strategies predict young and older adults’ everyday strategy use. Method 103 young and 91 older adults reported their memory goals, beliefs about the current and future effectiveness of various strategies, and frequency of use of each strategy type. Results The two age groups equally valued current and future memory. Young adults’ strategy selection related only to their beliefs about the strategies’ current effectiveness; older adults utilized approaches they perceived as effective for improving both future and current memory. Implications Findings highlight the importance of the temporal nature of memory strategy beliefs.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
