Abstract
Many healthy older adults are concerned about memory change and are interested in learning techniques for enhancing memory function in their everyday lives A memory education and intervention program was developed and administered to 36 community-dwelling older adults Pretest-posttest change scores showed significant improvement on measures of knowledge (ie, general facts about memory, memory strategies), metamemory (ie, satisfaction with memory, self-rated memory ability), and objective memory performance (ie, everyday prospective memory) in comparison to 24 demographically matched control participants Findings support the effectiveness of memory education and training in improving everyday functioning, particularly for older adults whose memory concerns result from inadequate knowledge about memory and aging
