Prospective memory is the ability to remember to execute an action at the appropriate time. Although it is essential in the daily activities and thus in the maintenance of people autonomy, some questions remain unanswered, and in particular its effects on age and its efficiency. This qualitative exploratory study aims to a better understanding of t...
The current study investigates the specific role of three executive functions in the explanation of performance variability on laboratory and naturalistic time-based prospective memory tasks in aging. Ninety people aged 18 to 80 years performed three executive tasks assessing inhibition, flexibility and updating, one laboratory time-based task and...
Introduction/Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate, using path analysis (Lisrel 8.52), the relationships between subjective memory complaint and cognitive inhibition, lifestyle, and psycho-affective variables on a sample of non-demented older adults.
Method
Our sample was composed of 109 older adults, who were required to undertake tw...
Prospective memory is a complex cognitive function requiring to remember a planned action. For example, this function is particularly important for elderly people to remember taking medication at the appropriate time. The comparison of the performance of old and young peoples on different prospective memory tasks led to two contradictory results, a...
Technical devices are part of elderly people's daily life. Meanwhile, research has not yet systematically explored how old people understand procedural instructions accompanying these devices. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate how age and memory span affect how people follow procedural instructions. To do so, the Reading Span Test of D...
This study concerns the evaluation of the efficiency of a cognitive training program art 80-year-old subjects'performance measures on 8 cognitive tasks (attentional control, memory, reasoning). The experimental group (N = 64) attended 6 multimodal cognitive training sessions (attention, memory, reasoning) whereas the control group (N = 18) took par...
Résumé
On évalue dans cette étude les effets de la participation à des séances d'entraînement cognitif sur la performance de personnes âgées de 80 ans en moyenne dont le niveau cognitif est initialement mesuré au moyen de 8 épreuves (contrôle attentionnel, efficience mnésique, capacité de raisonnement). Les 64 sujets du groupe expérimental particip...

The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the cognitive inhibition construct on a sample of 60- to 93-year-old people to whom were individually administered two inhibitory tasks (Digit Generation, Stroop) and several speed of information processing and working memory tasks. Our results mainly showed an effect of aging on the efficien...
