This study aimed to provide preliminary evidence on the psychometric properties of a measure of prospective memory in Spanish speakers, the Memory for Intentions Test (MIST) Spanish translation.
In addition, this study investigated whether acculturation influenced performance on the MIST. Finally, we measured other cognitive factors that might be impacting the relationship between culture and prospective memory performance. These factors were working memory, autobiographical memory, and episodic future thought.
Overall, the psychometric properties of the Spanish MIST appear to be similar to the English language MIST, but our sample size was too small to allow for the creation of a normative database. The MIST recognition item was significantly related to years of education and years of speaking either Spanish or English.
This suggests a need to investigate ways to improve the test to eliminate these effects. In addition, acculturation was related to the measure of episodic future thought.
本研究旨在为西班牙语使用者前瞻性记忆测量工具——意向记忆测试(MIST)西班牙语翻译版的心理测量特性提供初步证据。
此外,本研究调查了文化适应是否会影响MIST测试的表现。最后,我们测量了其他可能影响文化与前瞻性记忆表现之间关系的认知因素。这些因素包括工作记忆、自传体记忆和情景未来思维。
总体而言,西班牙语版MIST的心理测量特性似乎与英语版MIST相似,但我们的样本量太小,无法建立一个常模数据库。MIST识别项目与受教育年限以及说西班牙语或英语的年限显著相关。
这表明有必要研究改进测试的方法以消除这些影响。此外,文化适应与情景未来思维的测量有关。
