Cognitive failures, or everyday memory lapses, are linked to stress and anxiety in healthy adults. Self-reported cognitive failures may offer valuable insights for neuropsychological assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Neuropsychology
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Psychological Assessment

Background:

  • Cognitive failures are common everyday memory lapses.
  • Understanding factors influencing cognitive failures is crucial for neuropsychological practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between self-reported and observed cognitive failures and psychological factors.
  • To explore the association of cognitive failures with attention, distractibility, stress, and anxiety.
  • To evaluate the utility of cognitive failure self-report in neuropsychological evaluations.

Main Methods:

  • 138 healthy volunteers across four age groups participated.
  • Participants completed the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (Self and Other).
  • Measures of attention, freedom from distractibility, daily stress, and trait-state anxiety were administered.

Main Results:

  • Self-reported and observed cognitive failures showed a strong association with stress and anxiety.
  • Increased self-reported cognitive failures in one age group correlated with these psychological factors.
  • Age did not appear to be a primary moderator in the observed associations.

Conclusions:

  • Stress and anxiety are significantly linked to cognitive failures in healthy individuals.
  • Self-report measures of cognitive failures are potentially valuable tools in neuropsychological practice.
  • Further research can explore the predictive validity of cognitive failure self-report across diverse populations.
