| Annotation | Young, middle-aged and community-dwelling older people responded to seven open-ended questions concerning the topics of self-efficacy, memory management, memory remediation, and fears about memory ageing in adulthood. The results revealed several similarities between the age groups. All groups reported the same types of information as easy to recall, and responses across the age groups were also largely alike in terms of mnemonics usage, forgetting that is bothersome, and forgetting that is not bothersome. Differences between the age groups were most evident in responses relating to types of information that are difficult to recall, area of memory where improvement is desired, and fears of memory ageing. Implications for understanding adult memory concerns and memory health beliefs across the adult lifespan are discussed. (RH). |
