要 旨
The present study was aimed at the relationships between accuracy of prediction for memory test performance in a laboratory and time perspective in everyday life using the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R) and the Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ). Two hundred and fourteen undergraduate and graduate students (18-28 years old) participated in the study. The questionnaire and the standardized memory test were successively administered to each of the participants. They were individually asked to rate 25 items of the CFQ (5 factors) on 5-points scales from “never” to “very often” about how often the specific event has been experienced within recent six months. Subsequently they were also instructed to perform the WMS-R in a formal fashion, except predicting the delayed performance in four subtests (logical memory, visual paired association, verbal paired association and visual reproduction) after performing each immediate test. The results indicated statistically significant negative correlation between the ratings of the factors in CFQ and the prediction of delayed performance in the four subtests of the WMS-R, but there was no other significant correlation. The results were discussed in terms of the meaningful interpretations for the negative or null relation between the accuracy of predictions and tendency of cognitive failure.
Key words : metamemory, memory prediction, tendency of cognitive failure, the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R),
