Memory is affected differently with the passage of time; specifically, episodic memory presents a clear decline. There is a relationship of this memory impairment and degenerative and psychiatric diseases.
To determine the reliability and validity of the University of Southern California Repeatable Episodic Memory Test (USC-REMT) in a sample of Chilean adults.
The instrument was administered to 178 subjects living in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago. The sessions were individual, during the morning, lasting approximately 15 minutes.
The ANOVA indicates that subjects over 61 years old had lower scores in the test than their younger counterparts. There was an inverse correlation between age and success in "Free recall" (r =- 0.570), "Recognition indicating yes-no" (r = -0.412) and "forced-choice recognition" (r =- 0.371). Regression analysis showed that age explained 32.1 % "free recall" variance. The three components were grouped into a single factor.
The USC-REMT meets the criteria for validity and reliability to be applied for clinical and research purposes.
随着时间的推移，记忆受到的影响各不相同；具体而言，情景记忆呈现出明显的衰退。这种记忆障碍与退行性疾病和精神疾病存在关联。
确定南加州大学可重复情景记忆测试（USC-REMT）在智利成年人样本中的信度和效度。
该测试工具应用于居住在圣地亚哥首都大区的178名受试者。测试以个体形式进行，在上午进行，时长约15分钟。
方差分析表明，61岁以上的受试者在测试中的得分低于年轻受试者。年龄与“自由回忆”（r = -0.570）、“是-非识别”（r = -0.412）和“强制选择识别”（r = -0.371）的成功率之间呈负相关。回归分析表明，年龄解释了32.1%的“自由回忆”方差。这三个分量表被归为一个单一因素。
USC-REMT符合用于临床和研究目的的效度和信度标准。
