The story recall subtest of the (BEM-144) is a verbal episodic memory test that assesses immediate and episodic memory. Variables such as age, sex, and education level can impact performance on this type of memory test, as can cultural differences. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to establish normative data for the story recall subtest of the BEM-144 in the elderly French-Quebec population.
The normative sample consisted of 260 healthy individuals aged 50-90 years, all from the province of Quebec, Canada. Analyses were performed to estimate the association between age, sex, and education level on one hand, and immediate and delayed recall performance, on the other hand.
The results show that all sociodemographic variables are significantly associated with story recall performance. Normative data are proposed in the form of regression equations.
Overall, these norms will be beneficial for the evaluation and detection of episodic memory impairment in middle-aged and older adults.
(BEM - 144)的故事回忆子测验是一项言语情景记忆测试,用于评估即时记忆和情景记忆。年龄、性别和教育水平等变量会影响这类记忆测试的表现,文化差异也会如此。因此,本研究的目的是为加拿大魁北克省老年人群体建立BEM - 144故事回忆子测验的常模数据。
常模样本由260名年龄在50 - 90岁的健康个体组成,他们均来自加拿大魁北克省。进行分析以估计年龄、性别和教育水平与即时和延迟回忆表现之间的关联。
结果表明,所有社会人口统计学变量均与故事回忆表现显著相关。常模数据以回归方程的形式呈现。
总体而言,这些常模将有助于评估和检测中老年人群体的情景记忆损伤。
