Aging and the strategic use of context to control prospective memory monitoring.

Abstract: Monitoring the environment for the occurrence of prospective memory (PM) targets is a resource-demanding process that produces cost to ongoing activities. The current study investigated younger and older adults' ability to monitor strategically, which involves the heightening and relaxation of monitoring when it is contextually appropriate thereby affording conservation of limited-capacity attentional resources. Participants performed a lexical-decision task in which words or nonwords were presented in upper o… Show more

“…1 Only participants reporting normal (or corrected-to-normal) vision and normal color vision were eligible to participate in the study. Sample sizes were based on prior research showing robust effects using similar procedures (Ball & Bugg, 2018;Bugg & Ball, 2017;Lourenço et al, 2003;Lourenço & Maylor, 2014). In particular, Lourenço and Maylor (2014) showed a fairly robust preparatory effect at the end of the unexpected context, which was one of our primary measures of interest.…”

“… Kuhlmann and Rummel (2014) confirmed that intentions encoded by visual specific cues form a tight encoding trace, allowing participants to flexibly allocate cognitive resources, thereby enhancing ProM performance ( Kuhlmann and Rummel, 2014 ). For encoding, these previous studies (e.g., Ball and Bugg, 2018 ) showed a “specific advantage”, indicating that the memory content comprised mostly specific events with a high proportion of specific memories; to recall this content, there was an advantage to remembering specific details ( Chen, 2013 ). Furthermore, Scullin et al (2018) systematically investigated the encoding process for ProM and confirmed that specific was better than non-specific cue encoding, for which 22.5% of participants gave little thought to the ProM tasks and tended to translate categories to specific exemplars ( Pereira et al, 2018 ).…”

“…The type of warning that was successful varied, and included proximity cues, designating relevant blocks of trials, and some trial-by-trial (within block) designs. It is worth noting however, that not all warning manipulations were successful (Ball & Bugg, 2018b;Bugg & Ball, 2017;Cona et al, 2015;Lourenço & Maylor, 2014).…”
