Participants and design: It was used an ex post facto-comparison group design. 200 older adults of medium socio-economic level, living in Buenos Aires city, Argentine, were interviewed. Instruments: Self-efficacy Verbal Episodic Memory Inventory, Memory Activities Inventory, Memory capacity was assessed by The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), and Logic Memory (Signoret Memory Battery). Results: Memory self efficacy beliefs have a stronger weight than memory capacity in older adult ¿s social participation.
