Our paper on the German psychometric and normative data of the Multifactorial Memory Questionnaire (MMQ) is finally published in Journal of Neurology [link to paper] . It’s completely open access (paper, data, analyses) and the questionnaire freely available for researchers and clinicians at online and can be downloaded here: [link to questionnaire]
Next to a comprehensive examination of the MMQ scales’ distribution, validity, and reliability in 336 participants with a follow-up after 8 months, we provide reliable change scores, normative data for both the validated 3-factor and 4-factor models, and practical recommendations for their application and interpretation.
Moreover, we show that memory satisfaction and self-rated ability are already decreased at subclinically elevated levels of anxiety, and depressiveness, and that neuropsychiatric factors have a differential impact on metamemory across the lifespan.
