过去的研究经常未能发现前瞻记忆的年龄差异。这篇文章测试的可能性,年龄差异将更有可能出现在前瞻性记忆任务,这是在自我启动检索高。在第一个实验中,参与者被要求每10分钟执行一个动作(一个基于时间的任务,假设是高的自我发起检索);在第二个实验中,参与者被要求执行一个动作时,一个特定的词被呈现(一个基于事件的任务,假设是相对较低的自我发起检索)。年龄差异被发现与基于时间的任务,但不与基于事件的任务。这种年龄差异的模式在第三次实验中再次被发现,在该实验中使用了一种新的实验程序,并且直接改变了前瞻记忆任务的性质。一般来说,结果表明,自我启动的检索过程是一个重要组成部分的年龄相关的差异,在回顾性和前瞻性的记忆任务。
Past research has frequently failed to find age differences in prospective memory. This article tested the possibility that age differences would be more likely to emerge on a prospective memory task that was high in self-initiated retrieval. In the 1st experiment, participants were asked to perform an action every 10 min (a time-based task presumed to be high in self-initiated retrieval); in the 2nd experiment, participants were asked to perform an action whenever a particular word was presented (an event-based task presumed to be relatively low in self-initiated retrieval). Age differences were found with the time-based task but not with the event-based task. This pattern of age differences was again found in a 3rd experiment in which a new experimental procedure was used and the nature of the prospective memory task was directly varied. Generally, the results suggest that self-initiated retrieval processes are an important component of age-related differences across both retrospective and prospective memory tasks.
