Normative data on a self-rating scale for evaluating memory in everyday life.
Normative data are provided on 1,106 subjects who were administered a memory self-rating scale. This scale includes 21 ability-to-remember items yielding 5 factors, 24 items assessing frequency-of-occurrence of memory failures yielding five factors, and four global rating items assessing overall comparison to others, comparison to the best one's memory has been, speed of recall, and concern or worry over memory function. Test-retest reliabilities of the various self-rating factors exceeded .80. Research and clinical applications are discussed.
