| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Several researches have reported that it is difficult for elderly to evaluate appropriately their memory ability and memory performance. There is a possibility that their dissociation between self-evaluation of memory (metamemory) and memory performance causes memory problems of their daily life, because it disturbs spontaneous copying for their memory decline. In this research, in order to explore the factors that influence accuracy of metamemory for elderly, we conducted two cross-sectional and one longitudinal experiments. These experiments showed that 1) the problems of self-evaluation on occurrence frequency of memory in daily living for elderly was same level of evaluation for young adult, 2) metamemory of elderly did not reflect the memory decline with age, and 3) depression was the most influential factor in the accuracy of metamemory among their cognitive performances and degree of memory decline with age.
