Summary Abstract:
This symposium brings together international researchers whose work examines self-awareness, and the factors which influence it, across a continuum of healthy to impaired cognitive states. This symposium merges metacognitive, life span, and clinical disciplines to further our still limited understanding of the complexity of self-awareness and the factors that may bias it. The first speaker, Dr. Elodie Bertrand, will open the session with her study examining how metamemory for prospective versus retrospective information appears to be differentially vulnerable to aging. Our second speaker, Dr. Serena Sabatini, explores how different aspects of Awareness of Age-Related Changes (AARC) in cognition, including both gains and losses, predict trajectories of cognitive aging. Our third speaker, Ms. Maia McLin will focus on the construct of Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD), with specific attention to how caregiving affects one’s own SCD. The fourth speaker, Dr. Teresa Facchetti will present on self-awareness for language impairments with specific attention to potential biases and underlying mechanisms. To end the session, Dr. Stephanie Cosentino will provide an overview of how each discipline’s contributions aid the advancement of the study of self-awareness.
