The development of subjective recollection was investigated in participants aged 6-18 years. In Experiment 1 (N = 90), age-related improvements were found in understanding of the subjective experience of recollection, although robust levels of understanding were observed even in the youngest group. In Experiment 2 (N = 100), age-related differences were found in subjective recollection during a memory task, suggesting development not only in the ability to reflect on memory states, but also in the informational basis of subjective recollection. Lower understanding of memory states was associated with increased propensity to claim recollection. These results indicate that subjective recollection develops considerably during childhood and suggest that the development of metamemory supports this capacity.

Aging is typically associated with declines in episodic memory, executive functions, and sleep quality. Therefore, the sleep-dependent stabilization of episodic memory is suspected to decline during aging. This might reflect in accelerated long-term forgetting, which refers to normal learning and retention over hours, yet an abnormal retention over nights and days.

Due to the need to hospitalize a large number of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, the psychological conditions of hospitalized patients were often overlooked. This study focuses on the qualitative analysis of the subjective experiences of patients with a severe COVID-19 disease in Slovakia during hospitalization. A total of 27 Slovak participants (11 men and 16 women, mean age 57.

Memory intrusion is a characteristic of posttraumatic stress disorder manifesting as involuntary flashbacks of negative events. Interference of memory reconsolidation using cognitive tasks has been employed as a noninvasive therapy to prevent subsequent intrusive retrieval. The present study aims to test whether physical activity, with its cognitive demands and unique physiological effects, may provide a novel practice to reduce later involuntary retrieval via the reconsolidation mechanism.

Objective: To identify the COVID-19 pandemic impact on well-being/mental health, coping strategies, and risk factors in adolescents worldwide.
Method: This study was based on an anonymous online multi-national/multi-language survey in the general population (representative/weighted non-representative samples, 14-17 years of age), measuring change in well-being (World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index [WHO-5]/range = 0-100) and psychopathology (validated composite P-score/range = 0-100), WHO-5 <50 and <29, pre- vs during COVID-19 pandemic (April 26, 2020-June 26, 2022). Coping strategies and 9 a priori- defined individual/cumulative risk factors were measured.

Objective: We aimed to assess how daily-living-related contextual cueing (DLCC) affects memory performance in three groups: healthy older adults (HA), those with subjective cognitive decline (SCD), and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), while accounting for age and education.
Methods: After gathering demographic information, participants underwent neuropsychological assessments including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Everyday Cognition Scale (ECog-12), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and Trail Making Test (TMT) to establish baseline characteristics. Participants were categorized into HA ( = 47), SCD ( = 54), and MCI ( = 43) groups based on MoCA and ECog-12 scores.
