Memory Functioning Questionnaire: concurrent validity with memory performance and self-reported memory failures.

摘要: Concurrent validity of factor scores from the Memory Functioning Questionnaire (MFQ; Gilewski, Zelinski, & Schaie, in press) with memory performance was investigated 2 studies. Study 1 involved 198 adults aged 55-85; 2, 89 50-87. After effects depression, education, and health were partialed out, MFQ predicted on laboratory tests clinical diaries failures over weeks 2. Additional variance predicting recorded is accounted for by after partialing out subjects' responses to a yes-no question about whether they have problems. Results suggest that has moderate concurrent measures preferable single self-perception assessing complaints normal adults.
