Working Memory Questionnaire
Time Frame: Baseline (First assessment)
The Working Memory Questionnaire (WMQ) is a self-administered scale proposed by Vallat-Azouvi. It assesses the three different working memory domains (memory storage, attention, and executive functions). It consists of 30 questions, each scored on a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). The total score varies between 0 and 120. Higher scores represent more memory difficulties/complaints.
