| Research Abstract |
Inappropriate self-awareness of memory performance(meta-memory), as well as memory loss due to aging, causes the memory problems of dailylife in elderly adults. In this study, we conducted two experiments to elucidate the following two points, 1) to examine whether elderly adults can predict their memory performanceproperly, and what factors influence the accuracy of their predictions. 2) to examine whether their meta-memory influence to using the remainder tool of cell-phone. The experiment 1 revealed that elderly adults could not predict their memory performance property, especiallythe memory monitoring in elderly adults with high depression was significantly inaccurate. The experiment 2 showed that their anxiety and confidence to memory did not influence tousing the reminder tool of cell phone. We discussed about the need to approach to their meta-memory to improve the memory problems in daily life.
