前瞻性记忆（PM）研究通常考察记住执行延迟意图的能力，但往往忽略了忘记完成意图的能力。我们让参与者执行（或不执行;控制组）PM任务，然后指示他们PM任务已经完成。我们后来（重新）提出了PM提示。大约25%的参与者犯了一个委托错误，即在完成意图后错误地重复PM响应。PM组和对照组之间的比较表明，委员会的错误发生在没有准备监测。响应时间分析还表明，一些参与者在正在进行的任务块中感到疲劳，而那些感到疲劳的人更容易犯错误。这些结果支持了这一假设，即委员会错误可能会产生自发检索完成的意图，并可能未能施加执行控制，以反对PM的反应。
Prospective memory (PM) research typically examines the ability to remember to execute delayed intentions but often ignores the ability to forget finished intentions. We had participants perform (or not perform; control group) a PM task and then instructed them that the PM task was finished. We later (re)presented the PM cue. Approximately 25% of participants made a commission error, the erroneous repetition of a PM response following intention completion. Comparisons between the PM groups and control group suggested that commission errors occurred in the absence of preparatory monitoring. Response time analyses additionally suggested that some participants experienced fatigue across the ongoing task block, and those who did were more susceptible to making a commission error. These results supported the hypothesis that commission errors can arise from the spontaneous retrieval of finished intentions and possibly the failure to exert executive control to oppose the PM response.
