Into old age, with increasing age, the individual’s bodily functions with varying degrees of recession. Many elderly people showed decline in cognitive function and aging, memory function decline was most obvious. Memory loss in the elderly by many factors, and in some cases could be delayed or reversed. Intervention studies have shown that, a part of the memory decline in the elderly associated with the use of non-optimal learning and memory strategies, older people could learn and use of more effective memory strategies to improve memory ability. In addition, the researchers pointed out that the locus of control and self-efficacy may be promote or protect the role of the memory function of the recession, at the same time proposed intervention for the elderly and memory control beliefs-cognitive restructuring.Collate existing research, we know that there have two problems which are multi-field based on intervention and keeping the effect of intervention.For this reason, on the basis of previous studies, the healthy elderly as the research object, the use of questionnaires, interviews, behavioral training and other research methods, from(1)the relationship between memory control beliefs, self-efficacy and memory function of the elderly;(2)design of memory intervention program;(3)cognitive restructuring of the memory control beliefs and memory strategies training on memory function in the elderly, three aspects investigated cognitive restructuring interventions on healthy elderly memory function, memory control beliefs and effects of memory self-efficacy, and this effect is maintained for exploratory research.Conclusion:(1)Memory control beliefs and shopping list immediate recall, the name of the faces instant memories, digital meter immediate recall, digit span and shopping lists delay recall was positively correlated, in which the memory control beliefs with faces name instant recall, shopping lists delay memories have a higher correlation than the digit span. It was not significantly correlated with face name delayed recall and digital form delayed recall; (2)The level of memory self-efficacy with shopping list immediate memory, faces name immediate memory have high correlation, while a low correlation with other memory tasks; The strength of memory self-efficacy were lower correlation with all memory tasks;(3) Memory control beliefs was positively related to the level and intensity of memory self-efficacy. And memory control beliefs was related to memory self-efficacy levels more than the strength of memory self-efficacy;(4)The affect of demographic variables to the memory control beliefs and memory self-efficacy. Memory control beliefs was positive related with the level of education, family sources, and negative related with age,gender was not significantly correlated; memory self-efficacy levels was positively correlated with the degree of education, family sources, and negative related with age, but gender was not significantly correlated; memory self-efficacy strength was negatively correlated with age,was not significantly correlated with the level of education, gender and family sources;(5)The effectiveness of the interfere with training. Overall, the two methods of intervention is effective to improve the memory of the healthy elderly;.(6) The difference between the intervention effect of different methods of intervention. Overall,the mixed intervention was better than single intervention to improve memory capacity on the health of the elderly, on the other hand cognitive restructuring interventions have a certain effect to improve the ability of memory in older adults;(7) the effect of demographic variables of intervention gains. In this study, the intervention group were gender (men and women), age (55-60,61-65,66-70),the level of education (elementary, junior high, high school and above) grouping compared the effect of demographic variables of training gains, the results showed that is in the intervention study, demographic variables had no significant effect on the intervention.(8) In intervention gains hold, mixed intervention group was better than a single intervention group.But,the memory problems which was most commonly encountered in everyday life memory tasks was easier to maintain compared to other memory tasks on the intervention gains.
