这项日记研究考察了年轻人和老年人的日常前瞻记忆任务，并探索了个人任务重要性、提醒的使用和日常压力作为日常生活中与年龄相关的前瞻记忆表现的可能相关性所起的作用。结果显示，在日常的前瞻记忆任务中，年龄是有益的。此外，任务重要性被认为是与年龄相关的前瞻记忆表现的关键调节变量。然而，更频繁地使用提醒和较低的压力水平通常与更好的前瞻性记忆表现有关，但对与年龄相关的前瞻性记忆表现没有贡献。进一步探索前瞻记忆的可能相关性发现，重新排列最初计划意图的优先顺序的策略与日常前瞻记忆中的年龄好处有关。结果表明，在实验者给出的任务中观察到的与年龄相关的好处转移到日常前瞻记忆中，并随着动机和认知因素的不同而不同。对前瞻记忆和衰老的理论模型的含义进行了讨论。
The present diary study examined everyday prospective memory tasks in younger and old adults and explored the role of personal task importance, use of reminders and everyday stress as possible correlates of age-related prospective memory performance in everyday life. Results revealed an age benefit in everyday prospective memory tasks. In addition, task importance was identified as a critical moderator of age-related prospective memory performance. More frequent use of reminders and lower levels of stress, however, were associated with better prospective memory performance in general but did not contribute to age-related prospective memory performance. Exploring further possible correlates of prospective memory revealed that the strategy to reprioritize initially planned intentions was associated with age benefits in everyday prospective memory. Results suggest that the age-related benefit observed in experimenter-given tasks transfers to everyday prospective memory and varies in dependence of motivational and cognitive factors. Implications for theoretical models of prospective memory and aging are discussed.
