研究人员向参与者展示了名人的幻灯片，并指示他们说出每张面孔的名字，如果这个人戴着眼镜，就圈出试验号码（前瞻性记忆目标事件）。50多岁和60多岁的参与者（n = 56）在命名和前瞻记忆任务上比70多岁和80多岁的参与者（n = 59）更成功。与年龄相关的遗忘概率增加重复了早期的前瞻性记忆研究（E. A. Maylor, 1993）；在本病例中，恢复的可能性也与年龄有关。在考虑了包括智力、速度和命名能力在内的其他当前能力指标后，年龄的影响仍然显著。对于同时参加早期研究（E. A. Maylor, 1993）和本研究（n = 65）的参与者来说，两种情况下前瞻记忆表现之间的相关性是显著的，但仅对年轻参与者而言。前瞻记忆任务的表现与命名任务的表现完全无关。
Slides of famous people were presented to participants with the instructions to name each face and circle the trial number if the person was wearing glasses (prospective-memory target event). Participants in their 50s and 60s (n = 56) were more successful than participants in their 70s and 80s (n = 59) at both the naming and prospective-memory tasks. An age-related increase in the probability of forgetting replicated an earlier prospective-memory study (E. A. Maylor, 1993); in the present case, there was also an age-related decrease in the probability of recovery. These effects of age remained significant after other measures of current ability were taken into account, including intelligence, speed, and naming performance. For participants who were in both the earlier study (E. A. Maylor, 1993) and this study (n = 65), the correlation between prospective-memory performance on the 2 occasions was significant but only for younger participants. Performance in the prospective-memory task was entirely unrelated to performance in the naming task.
