We examined two factors to explain why young and older adults report using different memory strategies in their everyday lives. Participants rated the likelihood of use, difficulty, and effectiveness of six categories of memory strategies that they could implement in order to improve their general memory performance. Consistent with previous literature, older adults were more likely to report utilizing "use it or lose it" approaches than young adults, whereas young adults reported a greater likelihood of using task-focused approaches such as internal strategies and effort than older adults. We found that both perceived strategy difficulty and perceived strategy effectiveness predicted likelihood of strategy use, but young and older adults differentially weighed these factors. Young adults' likelihood of using different strategies was influenced more by strategy effectiveness than difficulty. Older adults differentially weighed difficulty and effectiveness when considering how likely they were to use various strategies.

简单还是有效?解释年轻人和老年人使用各种策略改善记忆的可能性。

我们研究了两个因素来解释为什么年轻人和老年人在日常生活中使用不同的记忆策略。参与者对六种类别的记忆策略的使用可能性,难度和有效性进行了评估,以提高他们的整体记忆表现。与以前的文献一致,老年人比年轻人更容易报告使用“使用它或失去它”的方法,而年轻人报告使用与任务相关的方法(如内部策略和努力)的可能性要比成年人大。我们发现,感知的策略难度和感知的策略有效性都可以预测策略使用的可能性,但是年轻人和老年人对这些因素的权重有所不同。年轻人' 使用策略的可能性受策略有效性的影响大于难度。老年人在考虑使用各种策略的可能性时,会分别权衡其难度和有效性。
