Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research is to explore the relationship of metamemory and memory of elders and to evaluate the effectiveness of a metamemory cognitive intervention on elders with mild cognitive impairment and low memory self-efficacy.


Clinical Trial Description

There are 3 studies in the present research. Study 1 is a reliability and validity study of the Chinese Metamemory Scales. Study 2 is a cross-sectional study to explore the relationship between metamemory and memory of elders encountered in Hong Kong primary health care setting.Study 3 is an Effectiveness Study of Metamemory Cognitive Intervention on elders with mild cognitive impairment and low memory self-efficacy.

This research has the following aims and hypotheses:

Research Aims:

1. To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese Metamemory Scales

2. To explore the relationship between metamemory and memory of elders

3. To evaluate the effectiveness of a metamemory cognitive intervention on Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) elders who have low memory self-efficacy

Research Hypotheses:

Study 1: The Chinese Metamemory Scales will show acceptable psychometric properties.

Study 2: There is a positive correlation between metamemory (subjective memory) and memory (objective memory) and this relationship is mediated by stereotyped beliefs about memory ageing.

Study 3: Comparing to Control Group, the Intervention Group will yield the following expected results:

1. There is an improvement in objective memory measures post-training.

2. There is an improvement in subjective memory measures post-training.

3. There is an improvement in mood measures post-training. ;
