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：
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.
