The Fuld Object Memory Evaluation (FOME) has considerable utility for cognitive assessment in older adults, but there are few normative data, particularly for the oldest old. In this study, 80 octogenarians and 244 centenarians from the Georgia Centenarian Study completed the FOME. Total and trial-to-trial performance on the storage, retrieval, repeated retrieval, and ineffective reminder indices were assessed. Additional data stratified by age group, education, and cognitive impairment are provided in the Supplemental data. Octogenarians performed significantly better than centenarians on all FOME measures. Neither age group benefitted from additional learning trials beyond Trial 3 for storage and Trial 2 for retention and retrieval. Ineffective reminders showed no change across learning trials for octogenarians, while centenarians improved only between Trials 1 and 2. This minimal improvement past Trial 2 indicates that older adults might benefit from a truncated version of the test that does not include trials three through five, with the added benefit of reducing testing burden in this population.
福尔兹物体记忆评估（FOME）在老年人认知评估中具有相当大的实用性，但规范数据很少，尤其是对于年龄最大的老年人。在本研究中，来自佐治亚百岁老人研究的80名八旬老人和244名百岁老人完成了FOME。对存储、检索、重复检索和无效提醒指标的总体及逐次试验表现进行了评估。补充数据中提供了按年龄组、教育程度和认知障碍分层的其他数据。在所有FOME测量中，八旬老人的表现明显优于百岁老人。对于存储，两个年龄组在第3次试验之后、对于保留和检索在第2次试验之后，都没有从额外的学习试验中受益。对于八旬老人，无效提醒在学习试验中没有变化，而百岁老人仅在第1次和第2次试验之间有所改善。第2次试验之后这种最小程度的改善表明，老年人可能会从不包括第3至第5次试验的简化版测试中受益，同时还能减轻该人群的测试负担。
