This investigation assessed the relationship between subjective self-reports and objective measures of prospective memory with forty-eight healthy, community-dwelling older-adults (> 65 years). The Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire provided the self-report data, the Cambridge Prospective Memory Test was used as a clinic-based test, and the Telephone Task (telephoning the examiner at irregular, pre-scheduled times across one week) was used as a naturalistic measure. The self-reported difficulties were negatively associated with performance on the naturalistic task, (41) = -0.341, = <0.05, but not the clinic-based task. Performance tasks (clinic-based and naturalistic) were moderately associated, (41) = 0.312, = <0.05. Tests of retrospective memory (delayed recall) and executive function (attention set-shifting) did not individually predict performance on any of the prospective memory measures. Incorporating naturalistic probes of prospective memory performance into a clinical assessment may allow insight into the experience of prospective memory challenges in older-age clients.
本研究评估了 48 名健康的、居住在社区中的老年人（>65 岁）的主观自我报告和客观前瞻性记忆测量之间的关系。前瞻性和回溯性记忆问卷提供了自我报告数据，剑桥前瞻性记忆测试被用作临床测试，电话任务（在一周内的不规则、预定时间打电话给测试者）被用作自然主义的测量手段。自我报告的困难与自然主义任务的表现呈负相关，(41)=-0.341，p<0.05，但与临床任务无关。表现任务（临床和自然主义）中度相关，(41)=0.312，p<0.05。回溯记忆（延迟回忆）和执行功能（注意集转移）的测试都不能单独预测任何前瞻性记忆测量的表现。将前瞻性记忆表现的自然主义探针纳入临床评估中，可能可以深入了解老年患者前瞻性记忆挑战的体验。
