  • Title: Subjective memory in multiple sclerosis is associated with initial-trial learning performance.

    Abstract:
    Subjective reports of memory functioning are often included as part of neuropsychological evaluations. However, information from subjective measures often conflicts with formal testing results. The current study explored the relationships among self-reported memory functioning and objective learning and memory measures. Sixty-four multiple sclerosis (MS) patients completed a self-report memory questionnaire (Memory Functioning Questionnaire, MFQ) and objective measures of learning and memory (California Verbal Learning Test-II, CVLT-II; Open-Trial Selective Reminding Test, OT-SRT; and Prose Memory, PM). Significant positive correlations were found between self-reported memory functioning and recall following initial exposure to material: OT-SRT Trial 1 (r = .42; p = .001); CVLT-II Trial 1 (r = .39; p = .002): PM Immediate Recall (r = .28; p = .028). Subjective memory was unrelated to recall performance on subsequent learning trials, aggregate learning scores, or delayed free recall. Results suggest that self-reported memory functioning in MS patients may be specifically related to single-trial learning.
