Summary

This study factor analyzed the Children's Memory Questionnaire-Revised (CMQ-R), finding it measures distinct everyday memory abilities in children, not formal memory functions. Results suggest the CMQ-R offers a unique perspective on children's memory.

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Neuropsychology
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Parental perception of memory is crucial for understanding children's cognitive development.
  • The Children's Memory Questionnaire-Revised (CMQ-R) is a tool for assessing these perceptions.
  • Evaluating the psychometric properties of the CMQ-R is essential for its valid application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a factor analysis of the Children's Memory Questionnaire-Revised (CMQ-R).
  • To assess the reliability and effectiveness of the CMQ-R in measuring children's memory functioning.
  • To compare parent-reported memory (CMQ-R) with formal memory assessments.

Main Methods:

  • Factor analysis of the 36-item CMQ-R administered to 371 children (aged 5-12).
  • Test-retest reliability assessed in a subsample.
  • Comparison of CMQ-R scores with formal memory testing in school and clinical groups.

Main Results:

  • Low correlations between CMQ-R and formal memory tests, improving with age.
  • Significant differences in CMQ-R scores between school and clinical groups.
  • Factor analysis revealed three factors: episodic memory, visual memory, and working memory/attention.

Conclusions:

  • The CMQ-R appears to measure distinct, everyday memory abilities rather than formal cognitive functions.
  • The questionnaire shows potential for assessing practical memory skills in children.
  • Further research can explore the CMQ-R's utility in clinical and educational settings.
