“…That is, differences between the two ratings appeared unrelated to the actual effectiveness of the cue that the participant had considered for cued-recall predictions. These results reinforce the need for broader theoretical and empirical treatments of the concept of memory monitoring than has typified much past research [9,[11][12][13][14]. Knowing whether information can be retrieved (feeling-of-knowing) may be less important for effective retrieval processing than one's monitoring of the effectiveness of particular types of cues.…”

“…In contrast, retrieval monitoring reflects the accuracy of predicting the likelihood of retrieving the correct answer when provided with cues (in this case, either related information about the news event or phonological cues). In light of adult age differences in retrieval, the present study is most significant in differentiating between feeling-of-knowing, as defined and examined by past researchers [9][10][11][12][13][14] , and the new concept of retrieval monitoring.…”

We assessed knowledge of retrieval processes in young (25–35 years) and old adults (70–85 years). Both feeling-of-knowing judgments and retrieval monitoring were examined with a set of questions about recent news events. For answers that participants initially failed to recall, they rated their feeling-of-knowing as well as made predictions regarding the likelihood of recalling the answer with the aid of a specified type of retrieval cue (retrieval monitoring). Accuracy was evaluated in the context of later recall or recognition performance. We found age group differences in the accuracy of retrieval monitoring, free recall, and recall aided by phonological cues. Using a separate inventory, we found no evidence for age group differences in participants' knowledge of general retrieval principles.

“…Although paper-and-pencil metamemory questionnaires are often used with adolescents, adults, and elderly persons (see Dixon, 1985;Dixon & Hultsch, 1983aHerrmann, 1982Herrmann, , 1984Perlmutter, 1978;Zelinski, Gilewski, & Thompson, 1980), they are almost never employed with children. Instead, verbal interviews are conducted with child subjects.…”

“…La teoría de la autoeficacia, frente al hecho que los adultos mayores subestiman en forma frecuente sus habilidades cognitivas, plantea que las creencias que sustentan este comportamiento inciden en forma negativa sobre el rendimiento del anciano en tareas que impliquen esta función cognitiva (Perlmutter, 1978). Asimismo, la teoría del control señala que las atribuciones que las personas realizan acerca de las causas de su rendimiento, también son un factor que puede tener severas consecuencias sobre aspectos afectivos y conductuales de la persona de edad.…”

Objetivo: En el presente estudio se evalúa la probable relación existente entre el rendimiento del adulto mayor de 65 o más años de edad en tareas de memoria episódica verbal, sus creencias de expectativas de resultado y la autoeficacia en esta función cognitiva. Hipótesis: Las creencias de control y de autoeficacia en tareas de memoria episódica verbal de los adultos mayores no dependientes influyen en su desempeño en actividades que implican esta función cognitiva. Metodología: Se siguieron los pasos de un estudio ex post facto, de fenómenos complejos multicausales, de corte transversal. Fueron seleccionadas las pruebas neuropsicológicas “Rey Auditory–Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT)” y “Subprueba de la Batería de Memoria de Signoret: Recuerdo de una Historia” que evalúan este sistema de memoria, el “Inventario de Autoeficacia para la Memoria Episódica Verbal (IA-MEV)” y dos preguntas que evalúan el locus de control. Estos instrumentos fueron administrados a 200 senescentes que residen en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Conclusiones: El locus de control interno y las dimensiones Nivel y Fuerza de las creencias de autoeficacia en memoria episódica verbal influyen sobre el rendimiento en tareas que implican el uso de esta función cognitiva. Las personas de edad con control en su desempeño en memoria episódica verbal, con una estimación positiva de sus capacidades para resolver estas tareas y una alta confianza en poder hacerlo, se desempeñarán en forma más exitosa en esta función cognitiva que aquellos con un sentimiento de pérdida de dominio, negativa percepción de sus capacidades y baja confianza.
