“…Previous studies have reported age-related PM decline in healthy older adults (Ball et al, 2019 ; Gonneaud et al, 2017 ; Lamichhane et al, 2018 ), which supports the association between ageing and PM decline. In the included studies, the clinical populations demonstrated a significantly poorer PM performance than the healthy populations (Kinsella et al, 2016 ; Lee et al, 2016 ; Mateos et al, 2016 ; Ozgis et al, 2009 ; Pereira et al, 2015 , 2018 ; Shelton et al, 2016 ), which supports a deficit in PM. The positive training effect found for the healthy and clinical older populations may reflect an improvement in PM in the training group compared with the control group.…”

“…It has been suggested that PM training with mnemonic techniques can facilitate PM performance by teaching either methods of using external aids or strategies to develop better attentional abilities and improve the capacity for memory retention and retrieval (Mateos et al, 2016 ). Additionally, these strategies could compensate for the PM decline in older adults.…”

“…The training gains of the two populations showed mixed trends. Some studies proposed that the healthy population stood to gain more than the clinical populations (Kinsella et al, 2016 ; Pereira et al, 2018 ), whereas others proposed that the clinical population would have a larger training gain (Lee et al, 2016 ; Mateos et al, 2016 ; Ozgis et al, 2009 ). One study showed no interaction effects between the cognitive status and training conditions (Pereira et al, 2015 ).…”

“…In addition to healthy older adults, strategy-based training also facilitates PM improvement in older adults with clinical disorders. A memory rehabilitation intervention that highlights strategies for everyday tasks has been shown to effectively improve PM in older adults with either MCI or impaired memory (Kinsella et al, 2009 ; Mateos et al, 2016 ). A spaced retrieval training that emphasises successful recall with extended intermittent times was also shown to improve PM in older adults with MCI (Ozgis et al, 2009 ).…”

Prospective memory (PM), which enables one to remember to carry out delayed intentions, is crucial for everyday functioning. PM commonly deteriorates upon cognitive decline in older adults, but several studies have shown that PM in older adults can be improved by training. The current study aimed to summarise this evidence by conducting a qualitative systematic analysis and quantitative meta-analysis of the effects of PM training in older adults, for which systematic searches were conducted across seven databases (Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, PsycInfo, Web of Science, CINAHL and Scopus). Forty-eight studies were included in the qualitative analysis, and 43% of the assessed PM training interventions showed positive gains in enhancing PM. However, the methodological quality varied across the studies, with 41% of the non-randomised control trials (non-RCTs) rated as having either serious or critical risk of bias. Therefore, only 29 RCTs were included in the subsequent quantitative meta-analysis. We found a significant and moderate immediate efficacy (Hedges’ g = 0.54) of PM training in enhancing PM performance in older adults, but no significant long-term efficacy (Hedges’ g = 0.21). Two subgroup analyses also revealed a robust training efficacy across the study population (i.e., healthy and clinical population) and the number of training sessions (i.e., single session and programme-based). Overall, this study provided positive evidence to support PM training in older adults. Further studies are warranted to explore the mechanisms by which PM training exerts its effects, and better-quality RCTs are needed to provide more robust evidence supporting our findings.

While the discussion on generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, is making waves in academia and the popular press, there is a need for more insight into the use of ChatGPT among students and the potential harmful or beneficial consequences associated with its usage. Using samples from two studies, the current research examined the causes and consequences of ChatGPT usage among university students. Study 1 developed and validated an eight-item scale to measure ChatGPT usage by conducting a survey among university students (N = 165). Study 2 used a three-wave time-lagged design to collect data from university students (N = 494) to further validate the scale and test the study’s hypotheses. Study 2 also examined the effects of academic workload, academic time pressure, sensitivity to rewards, and sensitivity to quality on ChatGPT usage. Study 2 further examined the effects of ChatGPT usage on students’ levels of procrastination, memory loss, and academic performance. Study 1 provided evidence for the validity and reliability of the ChatGPT usage scale. Furthermore, study 2 revealed that when students faced higher academic workload and time pressure, they were more likely to use ChatGPT. In contrast, students who were sensitive to rewards were less likely to use ChatGPT. Not surprisingly, use of ChatGPT was likely to develop tendencies for procrastination and memory loss and dampen the students’ academic performance. Finally, academic workload, time pressure, and sensitivity to rewards had indirect effects on students’ outcomes through ChatGPT usage.
