          Abstract

          RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar as evidências de validade e precisão de um instrumento que avalia a metacognição em idosos, denominado Escala Metacognitiva Sênior (EMETA-S). Participaram da amostra 194 idosos de ambos os sexos, que responderam a própria EMETA-S, composta por 74 itens. A análise fatorial exploratória com rotação Varimax revelou a presença de dois fatores, responsáveis por 27,18% da variância da escala. Após a exclusão de itens, a EMETA-S ficou composta por 27 itens, com consistência interna de 0,85. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre a média do desempenho em relação às variáveis: sexo, escolaridade e idade dos participantes. A análise das evidências de validade e precisão indicou adequação dos itens ao conceito proposto e boa consistência interna da escala.

          ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and accuracy of an instrument which assess metacognition in the elderly called Metacognitive Senior Scale (EMETA-S). A sample of 194 elderly of both sexes participated. They answered the EMETA-S, consisting of 74 items. Factor analysis with varimax rotation was performed and revealed the presence of two factors accounted for 27.18% of the variance of the scale. After deleting items, the EMETA-S was composed of 27 items with internal consistency of 0.85. No significant differences were found between the average performance according to the variables of sex, age and education of the participants. The analysis of the validity and accuracy indicated adequacy of the items and good internal consistency of the scale.

          The Informant Questionnaire on cognitive decline in the elderly (IQCODE): a review.

          The IQCODE is widely used as a screening test for dementia, particularly where the subject is unable to undergo direct cognitive testing or for screening in populations with low levels of education and literacy. This review draws together research on the psychometric properties and validity of the IQCODE. A systematic search of the literature was carried out using three databases. The review shows that the questionnaire has high reliability and measures a single general factor of cognitive decline. It validly reflects past cognitive decline, performs at least as well at screening as conventional cognitive screening tests, predicts incident dementia, and correlates with a wide range of cognitive tests. A particular strength is that the IQCODE is relatively unaffected by education and pre-morbid ability or by proficiency in the culture's dominant language. The disadvantage of the IQCODE is that it is affected by informant characteristics such as depression and anxiety in the informant and the quality of the relationship between the informant and the subject. Because the IQCODE provides information complementary to brief cognitive tests, harnessing them together can improve screening accuracy.

            The Memory Functioning Questionnaire for assessment of memory complaints in adulthood and old age.

            The results of psychometric analyses of the Metamemory Questionnaire (MQ; Zelinski, Gilewski, & Thompson, 1980), developed to evaluate perception of everyday memory functioning, are presented for a sample of 343 men and 435 women aged 16 to 89. Exploratory factor analysis yielded 4 correlated factors--General Frequency of Forgetting, Seriousness of Forgetting, Retrospective Functioning, and Mnemonics Usage--which accounted for 36.7% of the variance in responses to the MQ. Factor structure was invariant across age groups (16-54 vs. 55-89 years), 2 independent samples, and over 3 years. Because some of the original MQ scales did not load on the factors, only 64 of the original 92 items were retained for inclusion in the Memory Functioning Questionnaire (MFQ). Internal consistency of MFQ scores is high. The MFQ is therefore reliable for evaluating memory self-appraisals.
