Abstract:
Memory training is one way to achieve improvement in the quality of life and to prolong the independence of older people. Our contribution is a trial with one treatment group (N = 152) which concentrated on the effect of a basic memory training course available nationwide in the Czech Republic. The sample included nondemented, community-dwelling senior citizens. An important feature of the study is the inclusion of significant others who reported their observations. Results show that the training had a positive effect on the self-cognitions of the participants (rating of memory in general and ability to learn new things). The positive effect on memory and self-confidence in one’s own abilities was also reported by the significant others.
