Complex prospective memory: Development across the lifespan and the role of task interruption. Kliegel, Matthias; Mackinlay, Rachael; Jäger, Theodor; Developmental Psychology, Vol 44(2), Mar 2008. pp. 612-617. [Journal Article] Abstract: Prospective memory (PM) reflects the product of cognitive processes associated with the formation, retention, delayed initiation, and execution of intentions. It has been proposed that developmental changes in PM across the lifespan are heavily dependent upon the developmental trajectory of executive control functions. This study is the first to apply a complex PM task to children, young adults, and older adults. The procedure allows for the assessment of each of the 4 phases of PM. During intention execution, the authors additionally manipulated whether participants had to actively interrupt attention to the current 'ongoing' task in order to switch to the execution of the next intended task. Group differences mirroring inverted U-shaped functions were observed in those phases conceptualized as relying on executive control (intention formation, initiation, and execution). Age differences in intention execution were substantially greater when active task interruption was necessary. The current study provides the first evidence of growth and decline of complex PM across the lifespan and suggests that the degree of inhibitory control needed to succeed in the task may be one factor underlying this development (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)
Adult age differences in event-based prospective memory: A meta-analysis on the role of focal versus nonfocal cues. Kliegel, Matthias; Jäger, Theodor; Phillips, Louise H.; Psychology and Aging, Vol 23(1), Mar 2008. pp. 203-208. [Journal Article] Abstract: Studies of age differences in event-based prospective memory indicate wide variation in the magnitude of age effects. One explanation derived from the multiprocess framework proposes that age differences depend on whether the cue to carry out a prospective intention is focal to ongoing task processing. A meta-analysis of 117 effect sizes from 4,709 participants provided evidence for this view, as age effects were greater when the prospective cue to the ongoing task was nonfocal compared with when it was focal. However, the results only support a weaker but not a stronger prediction of the multiprocess framework, as age impairments were reliably above zero for both types of retrieval cues.

Time-Based and Event-Based Prospective Memory Across Adulthood: Underlying Mechanisms and Differential Costs on the Ongoing Task. By: Jáger, Theodor; Kliegel, Matthias. Journal of General Psychology, Jan2008, Vol. 135 Issue 1, p4-22, 19p, 5 charts Abstract: The authors investigated the phenomenon that performance in an ongoing task declines when individuals must carry out a prospective memory (PM) task. This effect is referred to as the PM interference effect. The authors examined whether the PM interference effect differs between event-based and time-based PM tasks and whether it is increased among the elderly. The authors also investigated adult age differences in PM performance and the potential underlying mechanisms of the age deficits in PM. They found that the PM interference effect was greater in event-based than in time-based tasks. However, aging was not associated with an increase in PM interference effects. Age differences in PM performance were more exaggerated in time-based than event-based PM, but they were not mediated by age differences in traditional cognitive ability measures. In time-based PM, age showed a unique adverse effect even after controlling for the ability to externally monitor the time, leading to the possibility that aging disrupts time-based PM because of deficits in internally processing the time.

The cost of event-based prospective memory: Salient target events. Smith, Rebekah E.; Hunt, R. Reed; McVay, Jennifer C.; Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, Vol 33(4), Jul 2007. pp. 734-746. [Journal Article] Abstract: Evidence has begun to accumulate showing that successful performance of event-based prospective memory (PM) comes at a cost to other ongoing activities. The current study builds on previous work by examining the cost associated with PM when the target event is salient. Target salience is among the criteria for automatic retrieval of intentions according to the multiprocess view of PM. An alternative theory, the preparatory attentional and memory processes theory, argues that PM performance, including retrieval of the intent, is never automatic and successful performance always will come at a cost to other ongoing activity. The 4 experiments reported here used a salient PM target event. In addition, Experiments 3 and 4 were designed to meet the stringent criteria proposed for automatic retrieval of intentions by multiprocess theory, and, yet, in all 4 experiments, delayed intentions interfered with ongoing task performance.

Comparing Older and Younger Adults in an Event-Based Prospective Memory Paradigm Containing an Output Monitoring Component. By: Marsh, Richard L.; Hicks, Jason L.; Cook, Gabriel I.; Mayhorn, Christopher B.. Aging, Neuropsychology & Cognition, Mar2007, Vol. 14 Issue 2, p168-188, 21p Abstract: Two experiments with younger and older adults were conducted to investigate the output-monitoring component of event-based prospective memory. In the standard form of the task, participants must remember to press a key when a certain class of items is encountered. To evaluate output monitoring, event-based cues were repeated and participants were asked to press a different key if they could remember that an earlier response was made to a particular cue. Younger adults forgot fewer of their successful responses, but displayed a distinct bias to claim that they had responded earlier when actually they had forgotten to respond. By contrast, older adults displayed this bias much less frequently. Elaborated responding to cues had the effect of improving the performance of younger, but not older adults. The results are discussed in terms of natural repetitions and omission errors that might be made in everyday prospective memory tasks.

The rise and decline of prospective memory performance across the lifespan. By: Zimmermann, Thomas D.; Meier, Beat. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Dec2006, Vol. 59 Issue 12, p2040-2046, 7p, 1 diagram, 1 graph Abstract: In the present study, the trajectory of prospective memory across the lifespan was investigated in a total of 200 participants from five age groups (4- to 6-year-old children, 13- to 14-year-old adolescents, 19- to 26-year-old adults, 55- to 65-year-old adults, and 65- to 75-year-old adults). In an event-based prospective memory task the prospective and the retrospective components were assessed separately. For the prospective component, the results showed better performance for adolescents and young adults than for children and 65- to 75-year-old adults. In addition, participants belonging to the latter group were more likely to forget the retrospective component after having noticed the prospective memory targets. Overall, these results indicate that across the lifespan prospective memory performance follows a similar inverted u-shape function as is well known for retrospective episodic memory.

anche io sto preparando la tesi sulla memoria prospettica e trovo tutto in inglese, sicuramente voi avete le traduzioni vi prego potete passarmele,grazie a tutti quelli che mi aiuteranno.
Riferimento: memoria prospettica
Ciao a tutti/e!
Quest'oggi il prof mi ha proposto una tesi sperimentale sulla memoria prospettica.
Ho visto che molte di voi hanno già affrontato quest'argomento e ciò mi consola molto.
Ho già preso in prestito dalla biblioteca "prospective memory" della Bandimonte, che stasera comincerò a leggere (aiuto! :sbonk: A proposito se per caso qualcuno l'avesse tradotto intero o in parte e potesse inviarmelo sarebbe fantastico!!!).
Vi sarei molto grata se qualcuna potesse passarmi un pò di materiale (magari anche tradotto) o esempi di tesi, così da farmi un pò un'idea!!!
Grazie mille!! :mano:
Se poi qualcuna l'avesse fatta sperimentale, mi farebbe molto piacere avere un confronto, dei consigli...
:ciao:
