    Memory performance in elderly females was not linked to their emotional state or self-perceived memory ability. However, emotional well-being and self-assessment of memory were related.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Aging is often associated with changes in memory and emotional well-being.
    • Self-assessment of cognitive abilities is a common metric, but its accuracy in older adults requires investigation.
    • The interplay between affective status and memory perception in the elderly is not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the relationship between objective memory performance, subjective self-assessment of memory, and affective status in elderly females.
    • To determine if affective state influences memory performance or self-perception of memory.
    • To explore the correlation between self-rated memory ability and actual cognitive function.

    Main Methods:

    • 67 elderly females participated in the study.

  • Participants completed a self-assessment memory questionnaire.
  • Objective memory performance was measured using laboratory tests, alongside multiple measures of affect.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant relationship was found between objective memory performance scores and affective measures.
    • Memory performance was not correlated with self-assessed memory ability scales.
    • A significant relationship was observed between affective status and self-assessment of memory skill.

    Conclusions:

    • Objective memory performance in elderly females is independent of their affective status and self-perceived memory ability.
    • Affective status and self-perception of memory are interconnected in this population.
    • Future research on memory performance relying on self-assessment should incorporate measures of affective status.
