| Annotation | This US study examined the effects of a 4-week, nine-session group intervention taught in Spanish to 33 Hispanic older adults entitled "Quieres mejorar tu memoria" (Do you wish to improve your memory?). The programme was based on Bandura's self-efficacy theory and was designed to increase memory self-efficacy and strategy use. A booster session and a post-test were given at three months to the intervention group. At post-test the participants reported greater confidence in preventing decline in their memories, and in particular greater use of the internal strategy of elaboration, and the external strategies of lists and note.
