Extensive research on memory interventions has confirmed their success with older adults, but the individual difference factors that predict successful training outcomes remain relatively unexplored. In the current intervention, trainees were identified as active (compliant with training regimens) or inactive using trainer ratings based on attendance, homework completion, and class participation. The active group showed significantly greater training-related gains than the inactive group and the control group on most measures. Compliance was predicted by health, education, and self-efficacy. Specifically, active trainees were more likely to have advanced degrees and somewhat higher self-efficacy, and to have higher vitality and fewer functional limitations than the inactive trainees. This research may assist future investigators to target interventions to those who will show the most benefit.
对记忆干预的广泛研究证实了其对老年人的有效性，但预测成功训练结果的个体差异因素仍相对未被探索。在当前的干预中，根据出勤、作业完成情况和课堂参与度，由培训师对学员进行评分，将其分为积极（遵守训练方案）或消极两类。在大多数指标上，积极组比消极组和对照组在与训练相关的方面有显著更大的进步。健康状况、教育程度和自我效能感可以预测依从性。具体而言，与消极学员相比，积极学员更有可能拥有高等学位和略高的自我效能感，并且活力更高、功能受限更少。这项研究可能有助于未来的研究者将干预措施针对那些将从中受益最大的人群。
