Abstract
This contribution presents the standardization and the normative data of a new test «Memoria Autobiografica Episodica e Semantica del Sé» (MA-SElf) on a sample of 347 adults with a typical cognitive profile (age-range: 20-90 y.o.). This tool has been clinically validated on 36 elderlies with cognitive decline (age-range: 66-90 y.o.), and it includes three memory subscales: (1) autobiographic episodic memory (about the past and future projection), (2) autobiographic semantic memory (about the remote and recent past), (3) memory of public events (control scale). The instrument showed good psychometric properties with a discriminant accuracy between normative and clinical samples > .90
