Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? In adjusted multilevel models, greater working memory decline over ten years was significantly predictive of a greater number of everyday memory problems. → Hahn Elizabeth A. Ph.D. 2014

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Adjusted multilevel analysis of 103 MIDUS/BOLOS participants with ten-year working memory difference scores and 12-week diaries. The article reports the main effect of memory decline was "significantly predictive, as expected, of a greater number of memory problems" (Est. = -2.45, p = .047).
"In the adjusted model, the main effect of memory decline was significantly predictive, as expected, of a greater number of memory problems."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Higher education predicts more everyday memory problems, consistent with awareness and stress-exposure explanations — related
- Selection strategies predict fewer memory problems regardless of decline extent; optimization and compensation are adaptive mainly under greater decline — related
- Verbal memory performance declines with age in the full sample, significantly at the one-week delay — related
- Lower general perceived control predicts more everyday memory problems, but weekly within-person control fluctuations do not — related
- Low weekly perceived control predicts more memory problems among adults with greater memory decline and low SOC strategy use (three-way interaction) — related
- Lower weekly perceived control correlates with more everyday memory problems at the within-person level — related
