Description
Steven Harris and five co-authors compare, in a 2024 study, three ways older adults size up their own memory and age. How people judge their thinking shapes their mood and choices, yet the common measures may not agree with each other. The team worked with 279 community-dwelling adults across the country, with a mean age near seventy-four.
One measure summed everyday memory complaints. Two others subtracted how old people felt, in memory and in general, from their real age. On average, complaints were few and people felt about ten years younger than their age. The three measures overlapped only moderately. Feeling healthy predicted fewer complaints and a younger felt age on both counts, and the team folded mood scores into the models as well.
