The Knowledge of Memory Aging Questionnaire (KMAQ) was designed to measure laypersons' knowledge of memory changes in late life for educational or research purposes. The KMAQ contains 28 items in a true-false format. Half of the questions pertain to normal memory aging and the other half cover pathological memory deficits due to nonnormative factors, such as adult dementia. In this article, we report the addition of a "don't know" response option to the KMAQ. Results of three experiments utilizing the KMAQ-DK version are presented. Implications for the design of educational programs for students, older adults, and service providers are considered.
