People tend to give up on their memory after they reach a certain point in life. New research on cognitive aging shows the benefits of believing in yourself and your abilities.
New research shows how these attitudes about aging can penetrate one's confidence in one's own memory.
Such statements tap into the general belief age is associated with inevitable mental decline, a view that permeates many people’s everyday speech. Indeed, reading about the assessment of Biden's memory could make anyone, whether 80-ish or not, wonder if there is no way to escape age's toll on your memory.
A new study by Hong Kong Technical Institute’s Michael Yeung provides some potential answers. Related to “effort” is the process known as “metamemory,” or your thoughts and beliefs about how to snap your mental powers into shape. Specifically, “the knowledge and monitoring of one’s own memory” includes control, in which you “deploy strategies to enhance subsequent learning and memory.
Prior research, Yeung maintains, hasn’t come to a clear set of conclusions about how effective monitoring is when it comes to real-life situations such as these, or at least as tested in the lab. Describing this effect as “elusive,” he suggests that part of the reason for the lack of clarity is that there’s more than simple memory involved in metamemory. This ability to think about your thinking comes from “,” a feature associated with the quality of your brain’s ability to plan and organize.
