Cross-cultural differences in the effect of the reminiscence program on negative specific memories
Alzheimer’s, MCI, Alzheimer’s sample
For the negative specific memories in the Alzheimer’s sample, neither the triple interaction between condition, time, and country (For the negative specific memories in the MCI sample, the triple interaction between predictors condition, time, and country (For the negative specific memories in healthy aging, the triple interaction between time, condition, and country (In the case of recall of negative specific memories, the differential effects of reminiscence intervention compared to the control condition varied across countries and types of aging. In the Alzheimer’s and MCI samples, the effects of both interventions were negligible, especially in the Alzheimer’s groups. Interestingly, in the healthy aging sample, there was an unexpected difference across countries: both interventions increased the recall of specific negative memories in the Spanish sample, while the Mexican control condition decreased the recall of those types of memories.
