Individual differences in circadian preference have been shown to influence cognitive functioning, yet their relationship with subjective memory complaints remains unclear. The present study examined the association between chronotype and everyday memory complaints in a sample of Portuguese adults, exploring the sequential mediating roles of sleep quality and psychological distress. A total of 382 participants ...
Objectives: The main objective of this cross-sectional study was to investigate if there are significant differences in cognition between a group of older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and cognitively intact controls. Methods: An initial sample of 132 older people underwent an extensive neuropsychological evaluation (memory, executive functions, and language) and were classified according to di...
The present study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and present a psychometric validation for the Everyday Memory Questionnaire—Revised (EMQ-R) to the Portuguese population. The study involved 267 participants aged between 18 and 75 years (M = 39.32; SD = 14.8), recruited online. Self-report measures of anxiety and depression symptoms were administered to assess the instrument’s convergent validity. To exam...
Population aging represents one of the most profound demographic transformations of the 21st century, with far-reaching implications for global labor markets. As working lives extend and workplaces become increasingly multigenerational, it is critical to understand how older adults adapt to evolving occupational demands. This Research Topic seeks to address these challenges through a multidisciplinary perspecti...
Verbal fluency (VF) tasks are fundamental instruments in the assessment of cognitive functioning (Demetriou & Holtzer, Reference Demetriou and Holtzer2017), specifically in the elderly, due to their ability to identify the speed of access to the mental lexicon, to assess its integrity, as well as the integrity of semantic memory. VF tasks also involve executive functions, such as updating, inhibitory control, c...

Subjective Memory Complaints (SMCs) are very frequent in the community, but more markedly in older people (Ginó et al., 2010; Zapater-Fajarí et al., 2022). Several studies have indicated an association between SMCs and memory objectively measured, although the results maintain inconsistency. However, SMCs constitute an important symptom in clinical contexts which is usually associated with the search for clinic...
To assess the general cognitive state and identify potential cognitive deterioration issues, screening tests such as the Mini-Mental State Examination have been widely utilized. Various studies have aimed to determine the socio-demographic variables (e.g., age, education) and cognitive abilities (memory, language, executive functions) most closely linked to the cognitive state assessed through tests like the MM...
