Awareness of cognitive deficits is considered to be decisive for the effectiveness of cognitive training in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, it is unclear in what way awareness influences motivation to participate in cognitive training.
Thirty-two elderly adults with MCI and 72 controls completed the 5-scale Memory Functioning Questionnaire (MFQ) and a motivation questionnaire. The predictive value of the MFQ scales on motivation was analyzed using regression analysis.
In the MCI group, but not in controls, higher perceived frequency of memory failures was associated with a lower motivation score.
Our findings indicate that, in MCI, greater awareness of cognitive deficits does not necessarily increase motivation to participate in cognitive trainings, and suggest that success expectancy may be a moderating factor.
认知缺陷的意识被认为对轻度认知障碍(MCI)患者认知训练的效果具有决定性作用。然而,意识以何种方式影响参与认知训练的动机尚不清楚。
32 名 MCI 老年患者和 72 名对照者完成了 5 分量表记忆功能问卷(MFQ)和动机问卷。使用回归分析对 MFQ 量表对动机的预测价值进行了分析。
在 MCI 组中,但在对照组中,感知到的记忆失败频率越高,与较低的动机评分相关。
我们的研究结果表明,在 MCI 中,对认知缺陷的认识增加并不一定会增加参与认知训练的动机,并且表明成功期望可能是一个调节因素。
