Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

888
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Self-Efficacy01:29

Self-Efficacy

369
Self-efficacy is the belief in one's capacity to organize and execute actions necessary to manage prospective situations. This belief significantly influences how individuals approach goals, tasks, and challenges across different domains of life.Psychological and Educational ImpactsIndividuals with strong self-efficacy are more resilient in the face of difficulties. They are more likely to adopt effective problem-solving strategies, persist through obstacles, and regulate emotions such as...

Self-Regulation01:25

Self-Regulation

359
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

230
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

423
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Cognitive Therapy01:25

Cognitive Therapy

1.5K
Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Summary

Self-efficacy does not influence cognitive gains in older adults. Research shows that higher self-efficacy did not predict better outcomes from cognitive speed of processing training (SOPT).

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Cognitive training is a key intervention for older adults.
  • Self-efficacy may influence engagement and outcomes in cognitive training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if self-efficacy mediates or moderates training gains.
  • To examine the role of self-efficacy in cognitive speed of processing training (SOPT) responsiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Data from 1,528 older adults across two studies (SKILL and ACTIVE) were analyzed.
  • Participants were randomized to SOPT or control conditions.
  • Regression models assessed self-efficacy as a predictor of cognitive training gains (UFOV performance).

Main Results:

  • Self-efficacy scores did not predict improvements in Useful Field of View (UFOV) performance.
  • No significant relationship was found between self-efficacy and SOPT benefits.

Conclusions:

  • Self-efficacy does not impact older adults' ability to benefit from SOPT.
  • Findings suggest self-efficacy is not a key factor in SOPT effectiveness.
