Abstract

Time-based prospective memory (PM) refers to the ability to remember to execute an intended action at a predefined future time. Previous research suggests that both general cognitive abilities (working memory) and task specific abilities (time monitoring) underly time-based PM performance. In three studies, we investigated the relevance of specific WM processes (binding, updating) for time-based PM and unravel their interplay with task specific abilities. In Experiment 1 (N = 147), we manipulated working-memory load, and found a greater influence of time monitoring on PM performance with increasing load. In Experiment 2 (N = 132), we found, in addition to time monitoring, specifically WM updating abilities to be associated with PM performance. In Experiment 3 (N = 148), we found PM performance to suffer when updating demands were increased but the effect vanished after controlling for time monitoring. These findings emphasize the complex interplay between general cognitive ability and task specific abilities in time-based PM.

基于时间的前瞻性记忆的个体差异：工作记忆和时间监控的作用

基于时间的前瞻性记忆（PM）指的是记住在预定的未来时间执行预期行动的能力。以往的研究表明，一般认知能力（工作记忆）和特定任务能力（时间监控）都是基于时间的前瞻性记忆表现的基础。在三项研究中，我们调查了特定 WM 过程（结合、更新）与基于时间的 PM 的相关性，并揭示了它们与特定任务能力之间的相互作用。在实验 1（N = 147）中，我们操纵了工作记忆负荷，发现随着负荷的增加，时间监控对 PM 表现的影响更大。在实验 2（N = 132）中，我们发现除了时间监控外，具体的 WM 更新能力也与 PM 成绩有关。在实验 3（N = 148）中，我们发现当更新需求增加时，PM 成绩会受到影响，但在控制了时间监控后，这种影响消失了。这些发现强调了在基于时间的 PM 中，一般认知能力和特定任务能力之间复杂的相互作用。

期刊介绍： Articles in the Journal of Memory and Language contribute to the formulation of scientific issues and theories in the areas of memory, language comprehension and production, and cognitive processes. Special emphasis is given to research articles that provide new theoretical insights based on a carefully laid empirical foundation. The journal generally favors articles that provide multiple experiments. In addition, significant theoretical papers without new experimental findings may be published. The Journal of Memory and Language is a valuable tool for cognitive scientists, including psychologists, linguists, and others interested in memory and learning, language, reading, and speech. Research Areas include: • Topics that illuminate aspects of memory or language processing • Linguistics • Neuropsychology.
