Cognitively intact anxious elderly subjects were randomly assigned to either a progressive muscle relaxation-training condition or control condition (ns = 15) and then completed selected subtests from the Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised. Despite significant reductions in state anxiety in the relaxation group, no significant differences were detected between the two groups on memory measures. These results are discussed within the context of previous research, and suggestions for further research are made.
认知功能完好的焦虑老年受试者被随机分为渐进性肌肉放松训练组或对照组(每组n = 15),然后完成韦氏记忆量表修订版中的部分子测试。尽管放松组的状态焦虑显著降低,但两组在记忆测试方面未发现显著差异。将在先前研究的背景下讨论这些结果,并提出进一步研究的建议。
