These\u0026nbsp;measures\u0026nbsp;also implicitly assume that the use of memory strategies in daily life are a\u0026nbsp;consequence of\u0026nbsp;experienced memory decline and are used explicitly as a form of\u0026nbsp;adopted compensation (B\u0026auml;ckman \u0026amp;\u0026nbsp;Dixon, 1992; Dixon, de Frias \u0026amp; B\u0026auml;ckman,\u0026nbsp;2001).\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nThese critical issues\u0026nbsp;were assessed through a qualitative coding analysis performed on 26 individually\u0026nbsp;tailored,\u0026nbsp;semi-structured qualitative interviews with older adults about their everyday\u0026nbsp;remembering. The interviews elicited\u0026nbsp;information about how older adults\u0026nbsp;implemented memory strategies, how efficacious these procedures were in helping\u0026nbsp;them achieve their goals, and how they were conceptualized. Additionally, the\u0026nbsp;interviews elicited detailed information\u0026nbsp;about the context in which memory\u0026nbsp;failures occurred and beliefs held by the participants about their memories. The\u0026nbsp;qualitative analysis revealed several themes. First, everyday memory strategy\u0026nbsp;use arises for a variety of reasons, not\u0026nbsp;solely as a form of explicit memory\u0026nbsp;compensation. Second, stated importance played a major role in older adults\u0026rsquo;\u0026nbsp;approach to everyday remembering behaviors. Third, partially-structured habits\u0026nbsp;and routines left individuals\u0026nbsp;vulnerable to forgetting. Finally, a unique nexus\u0026nbsp;exists among self-perceptions, older adults\u0026rsquo; perceived memory skills,\u0026nbsp;and their\u0026nbsp;beliefs about memory control. The implications of this research have the\u0026nbsp;potential to improve older adults\u0026rsquo;\u0026nbsp;everyday remembering by informing the design\u0026nbsp;of an intervention to create a repertoire of self-regulatory strategies to\u0026nbsp;help\u0026nbsp;manage and improve everyday remembering.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Everyday Memory Strategy Use in Older Adults"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2018-04-13 19:41:15","changed_gmt":"2018-04-16 15:44:56","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-04-23T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-04-23T18:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-04-23T18:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-04-23 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-04-23 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-04-23 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"111531","name":"ms defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
