虽然有大量的轶事和经验证据表明，回顾性记忆可能会受到不利影响，在怀孕期间和产后，目前还不清楚是否前瞻性记忆的能力也受损。在本研究的第一阶段，20名妊娠晚期的参与者与20名非妊娠匹配的对照组进行了前瞻性记忆的实验室测量，该实验室测量密切代表了日常生活中实际发生的前瞻性记忆任务的类型，此外还进行了为期7天的自然主义时间记录前瞻性记忆任务，作为日常生活的一部分。在第二阶段，15名孕妇在分娩后约13个月重新测试了时间记录任务。结果表明，虽然怀孕与前瞻记忆的实验室测量的赤字没有关联，但在自然主义测量上观察到了显着的损害。因此，这些初步数据提供了第一个经验证据，表明怀孕可能与日常生活中实施延迟意图的难度增加有关。
Although there is considerable anecdotal and empirical evidence showing that retrospective memory may be adversely affected during pregnancy and postpartum, it remains unclear whether capacity for prospective memory is also impaired. In Phase 1 of the present study 20 participants in their third trimester of pregnancy were compared with 20 nonpregnant matched controls on a laboratory measure of prospective memory that closely represents the types of prospective-memory tasks that actually occur in everyday life, in addition to a naturalistic time-logging prospective-memory task that was conducted over a period of 7 days as part of their day-to-day lives. In Phase 2, 15 of the pregnant women were retested on the time-logging task approximately 13 months after giving birth. The results indicated that although pregnancy was not associated with deficits on the laboratory measure of prospective memory, significant impairment was observed on the naturalistic measure. These preliminary data therefore provide the first empirical evidence showing that pregnancy may be associated with increased difficulty in implementing delayed intentions in everyday life.
