记忆问题是老年人担心的一个主要问题。本研究的目的是评估改善记忆表现的方法以及对记忆能力和控制的信念。年龄在60到85岁之间的男性和女性被随机分配到五个治疗组中的一个：(1)认知重组以促进对记忆的适应性信念，(2)记忆技能训练，(3)认知重组和记忆技能训练相结合，(4)记忆任务练习，(5)无接触对照组。对记忆（能力和控制）和记忆表现（工作记忆、文本材料回忆、可分类词表、姓名和面孔）的信念进行前测和两次后测。正如预测的那样，那些接受联合治疗的人在他们的控制感和改善记忆的感知能力方面表现出最大的增长。结果表明，所有小组在记忆任务上都有同样的进步，尽管那些接受过记忆训练的人更有可能在第二次后测中报告他们已经开始使用新的记忆策略。
Memory problems are a major source of concern among older adults. The goal of this research was to evaluate methods for improving memory performance and beliefs about memory ability and control. Men and women between the ages of 60 and 85 were randomly assigned to one of five treatment groups: (1) cognitive restructuring lo promote adaptive beliefs about memory, (2) memory skills training, (3) combined cognitive restructuring and memory skills training, (4) practice on memory tasks, and (5) a no-contact control group. Beliefs about memory (ability and control) and memory performance (working memory, recall of text materials, categorizable word list, and names and faces) were assessed at a pretest and two posttests. As predicted, those receiving the combined treatment showed the greatest increases in their sense of control and perceived ability to improve memory. Results indicated that all groups improved equally on the memory tasks, although those who had received memory training were more likely to report at the second posttest that they had begun using new strategies for remembering things.
