预期记忆对于日常功能至关重要，并且很容易受到干扰。我们进行了一项实验来探索我们是否可以缓冲前瞻性记忆以防止分心。对于一半的参与者，我们预先暴露了刺激，这些刺激后来被指定为预期记忆目标。然后，所有参与者在标准和高注意力需求下（即在充分和分散的注意力下）执行一项正在进行的任务（其中嵌入了前瞻性记忆任务）。目标预暴露改善了前瞻性记忆并消除了显着的注意力分散效应。因此，目标预先暴露似乎可以缓冲前瞻性记忆，防止注意力分散的破坏性影响。此外，目标预暴露似乎可以帮助参与者做出正确的预期行动。这一结果意味着，预先暴露于目标刺激有助于编码目标刺激和预期动作之间的关联，也许促进相对更多的反射性检索，从而缓冲预期记忆以防止分心。
Prospective memory is critical to everyday functioning and can be vulnerable to distraction. We conducted an experiment to explore whether we could buffer prospective memory against distraction. For half the participants, we preexposed stimuli that were later designated as prospective memory targets. Then, all participants performed an ongoing task (in which the prospective memory task was embedded) under standard and high attentional demand (i.e., under full and divided attention). Target preexposure improved prospective memory and eliminated the significant divided attention effect. Thus, target preexposure seems to buffer prospective memory against the disruptive effect of dividing attention. Moreover, target preexposure seemed to help participants to respond with the correct intended action. This result implies that preexposure to the target stimuli facilitated the encoding of an association between the target stimuli and the intended action, perhaps promoting relatively more reflexive retrieval and thereby buffering prospective memory against distraction.
