Self-ratings of memory were studied in 69 institutionalized women. The patients also were evaluated by means of three screening tests for organic brain syndrome (OBS) and a hypochondriasis scale. A negative correlation existed between self-rating of memory and actual memory as measured by the screening tests for OBS, but it was significant (p less than .05) for only one of the tests. There was also a negative correlation (p less than .01) between memory rating and scores on the hypochondriasis scale. Therefore, clinicians should not take patients' memory complaints as valid indicators of OBS, but as possible indicators of hypochondriasis.
对69名住养老院的女性进行了记忆自评研究。还通过三项器质性脑综合征（OBS）筛查测试和一个疑病症量表对这些患者进行了评估。记忆自评与通过OBS筛查测试所测得的实际记忆之间存在负相关，但仅在其中一项测试中显著（p小于0.05）。记忆评分与疑病症量表得分之间也存在负相关（p小于0.01）。因此，临床医生不应将患者的记忆主诉视为OBS的有效指标，而应将其视为疑病症的可能指标。
