“…This suggests that, in these conditions, the TBPM task required older participants to engage more self-initiated processes (Craik 1986). More specifically, TBPM may engage more self-initiated processes than EBPM, despite the fact that, in conditions where TBPM and EBPM tasks are not made as similar as possible, the reverse pattern could be observed (see for example Gonneaud et al, 2011). Furthermore, older individuals demonstrated a higher cost of adding an intention on both accuracy and response times for the ongoing task (i.e., "natural"/"man-made" judgment) compared to young adults.…”

“…The greater reliance on self-initiated processes and difficulties for older adults to strategically monitor the time have been proposed to account for this greater decline in TBPM (Einstein et al 1995;Mäntylä et al 2009). Interestingly, the age-related variability in PM performance seems largely related to executive functions (Gonneaud et al 2011;Kliegel et al 2003;Martin et al 2003), which depend on the integrity of frontal areas that are also particularly sensitive to the effects of age (Kalpouzos et al 2009). …”

Prospective memory (PM) refers to the ability to remember to execute an intention at the appropriate moment in the future, which can be performed either at the appearance of an event (event-based, EBPM) or after a certain amount of time (time-based, TBPM). PM is generally impaired during aging but the cerebral substrates of this decline have been little investigated. Using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), we investigated the neural bases of PM in 20 young and 20 healthy older adults. They were proposed a task of semantic categorisation of pictures (ongoing task). For some blocks, participants only had to perform this ongoing task while, for others, a PM instruction was added. In this case, a supplementary answer in response to a specific colour of border for EBPM or at specific time intervals for TBPM was expected. PM, and more particularly TBPM, declined in older adults.For both PM conditions, older adults recruited additional brain areas, but also showed reduced deactivations of other regions. These results are discussed in light of models of the aging brain.

“…These results raise the question of the involvement of executive functions in PM functioning. There is also a debate about PM in normal aging, for whereas some studies have reported poorer PM performances for older participants (Gonneaud, Kalpouzos, Bon, et al, 2011), others have not (Uttl, 2008). For their part, Martin, Kliegel, and McDaniel (2003) claimed that "frontal/executive functioning is an important predictor for PM performance."…”

Abstract■ Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the abrupt onset of a massive episodic memory deficit that spares other cognitive functions. If the anterograde dimension is known to be impaired in TGA, researchers have yet to investigate prospective memory (PM)-which involves remembering to perform an intended action at some point in the future-in this syndrome. Furthermore, as executive functions are thought to be spared in this syndrome, TGA provides an opportunity to examine the impact of a massive "pure" memory impairment on PM. We assessed 38 patients with a newly designed protocol that distinguished between the prospective (remembering to do something at the appropriate time) and retrospective (remembering what has to be done) components of PM. Moreover, we investigated episodic memory with an anterograde memory task and assessed executive functions, anxiety and mood, as well as their links with PM. We demonstrated that PM is impaired during TGA, with a greater deficit for the retrospective component than for the prospective component. Furthermore, we highlighted a strong link between these two components. Anterograde episodic memory impairments were correlated with retrospective component deficits in TGA patients, although we were able to confirm that executive functions are globally spared. We discuss this pattern of results within the theoretical framework of PM, putting forward new arguments in favor of the idea that PM deficits can occur mainly because of a massive anterograde memory deficit. The clinical consequences of PM impairment in TGA are examined. ■

“…Proof of the paradox for time-based tasks has also been found in studies using the same sample of participants in both the laboratory tasks and the tasks situated in everyday settings (Niedźwieńska & Barzykowski, 2012;Rendell & Thomson, 1999;Schnitzspahn, Ihle, et al, 2011). This is in contrast to some that suggest that time-based tasks should be more affected by aging than eventbased tasks, because time-based tasks require more self-initiated processes (see Gonneaud et al, 2011 for a review).…”

“…Research on prospective memory started late in the history of memory research (Einstein & McDaniel, 1990;McDaniel, Einstein, & Jacoby, 2008), and this ability is still regarded to be poorly understood (c.f. Gonneaud et al, 2011;Uttl, 2008). Today prospective memory has primarily been researched within laboratory-based paradigms.…”

Distributed cognition in home environments : The prospective memory and cognitive practices of older adults

Forsblad¹

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this thesis I explore how older people make use of, and interact with, their physical environment in home and near-by settings to manage cognitive situations, specifically prospective memory situations. Older adults have in past research been shown to perform better on prospective memory in real-life settings than what findings in laboratory-like settings predict. An explanation for this paradox is that older adults has a more developed skill of using the environment for prospective memory than younger adults. However, research investigating this explanation has primarily been based on self-reports.I contribute to the understanding of this skill by doing two related things. First I introduce distributed cognition, a theoretical perspective that primarily has been used within professional and socio-technical environments, to the research field of prospective memory in everyday life. Second I present a cognitive ethnography conducted during two years across eight home, and near-by, environments and old-age retired persons, for which I have used theoretical concepts from distributed cognition to analyze observations. The analysis shows rich variations in how participants use common cultural cognitive tools, invent their own cognitive tools, deliberately and incidentally shape more or less functional spaces, make use of other physical features, orient themselves toward and make sense of cognitive resources. I complement both prospective memory and distributed cognition research by describing both the intelligent shaping and use of space. Furthermore, by taking a distributed cognitive perspective I show that prospective memory processes in home environments involve properties, and the management, of a multipurpose environment.Altogether this supports the understanding of distributed cognition as a perspective on all cognition. Distributed cognition is not a reflection of particular work practices, instead it is a formulation of the general features of human cognition. Prospective memory in everyday life can be understood as an ability persons have. However, in this thesis I show that prospective memory can also be understood as a process that takes place between persons, arrangements of space, and tools.iii
