前瞻记忆文献中的一个当前焦点是前瞻记忆任务（记住执行未来的动作）干扰正在进行的活动（在本研究中定义为词汇决策延迟）的程度。在本研究中，参与者必须检测一个，两个，三个，四个，五个或六个前瞻性记忆线索。结果表明，词汇决策延迟与一个或两个目标没有显着增加，但是，显着的成本出现与三个或更多的目标。此外，任务干扰表现出线性增加的任务成本字审判的性能，但不是非字审判的性能。这些研究结果的实际和理论意义进行了讨论。
A current focus in the prospective memory literature is the extent to which a prospective memory task (remembering to perform a future action) interferes with ongoing activities (defined in this study as lexical decision latencies). In the present study, participants had to detect one, two, three, four, five, or six prospective memory cues. Results showed no significant increase in lexical decision latencies with one or two targets; however, significant costs emerged with three or more targets. Furthermore, task interference showed a linear increase in task costs for word trial performance but not for nonword trial performance. Practical and, theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
