“…They showed an increased posterior negativity around 200 ms (N200) for ongoing task events performed concurrently with a PM task, relative to ‘ongoing-only task’ performance. This evidence has been corroborated by other researchers (Czernochowski et al, 2012; Knight et al, 2010). Thus, the first question we address in this study is: can the N200 also be found when monitoring conceptual PM cues or is it specific to the monitoring of perceptual PM cues?…”

“…To study neural correlates of monitoring in PM we have used a traditional experimental design (Brewer et al, 2010; Cona et al, 2012; Czernochowski et al, 2012; Guynn, 2003, 2008; Knight et al, 2010; Marsh et al, 2003; Smith, 2003, 2010; Smith et al, 2007; West et al, 2006; West et al, 2007), assuming that the difference between ‘Ongoing+PM task’ and ‘Ongoing-only task’ conditions reflects neurocognitive processes associated with the addition of a PM component to the task. This may raise concerns regarding whether the results can be attributed to the PM task performance or to other non-specific factors.…”

“…Traditional experimental designs in PM evaluate monitoring by comparing performance of an ongoing task performed in conjunction with a PM task (ongoing+PM task condition) with the performance of the same task without the PM task embedded (ongoing-only task condition) (Czernochowski et al, 2012; Guynn, 2003, 2008; Marsh et al, 2003; Smith, 2003, 2010; Smith et al, 2007). The same approach has been used to explore the neural correlates of monitoring in PM (Cona et al, 2012; Czernochowski et al, 2012; Knight et al, 2010; West et al, 2006; West et al, 2007). West et al (2006, 2007) showed the first evidence of a monitoring effect (called the prospective interference effect in their studies) using perceptually salient PM cues.…”

The present study examined whether Event-Related Potential (ERP) components and their neural generators are common to perceptual and conceptual prospective memory (PM) tasks or specific to the form of PM cue involved. We used Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to study the contributions of brain source activities to scalp ERPs across the different phases of two event-based PM-tasks: (1) holding intentions during a delay (monitoring) (2) detecting the correct context to perform the delayed intention (cue detection) and (3) carrying out the action (realisation of delayed intentions). Results showed that monitoring for both perceptual and conceptual PM-tasks was characterised by an enhanced early occipital negativity (N200). In addition the conceptual PM-task showed a long-lasting effect of monitoring significant around 700 ms. Perceptual PM-task cues elicited an N300 enhancement associated with cue detection, whereas a midline N400-like response was evoked by conceptual PM-task cues. The Prospective Positivity associated with realisation of delayed intentions was observed in both conceptual and perceptual tasks. A common frontal-midline brain source contributed to the Prospective Positivity in both tasks and a strong contribution from parieto-frontal brain sources was observed only for the perceptually cued PM-task. These findings support the idea that: (1) The enhanced N200 can be understood as a neural correlate of a ‘retrieval mode’ for perceptual and conceptual PM-tasks, and additional strategic monitoring is implemented according the nature of the PM task; (2) ERPs associated with cue detection are specific to the nature of the PM cues; (3) Prospective Positivity reflects a general PM process, but the specific brain sources contributing to it depend upon the nature of the PM task.

“…In addition, in an aging study, age-related differences in PM were mediated by processing speed, inhibitory control, and working memory (West & Craik, 2001). Finally, several studies using functional neuroimaging and event-related potentials have indicated the important role of various regions in the prefrontal and parietal cortices in prospective memory processes suggesting that working memory, inhibition, and attention switching between external events and internal thought processes are likely operating during prospective remembering (Bisiacchi, Schiff, Ciccola, & Kliegel, 2009;Burgess, Quayle, & Frith, 2001;Czernochowski, Horn, & Bayen, 2012;Martin et al, 2007;Mattli, Zöllig, & West, 2011;McDaniel et al, 1999;McDaniel, LaMontagne, Beck, Scullin, & Braver, 2013;Okuda et al, 1998;Simons, Schölvinck, Gilbert, Frith, & Burgess, 2006;West, 2011;West & Covell, 2001;Zöllig et al, 2007).…”

“…Hence, cognitive demand for these retrospective memory tasks is posited to be reduced, presumably because they are more frequently activated in memory (Rendell, Gray, Henry, & Tolan, 2007) than irregular activities requiring strategic monitoring for completion. The regularity effect was also tested in behavioral study using event-related potential and event-based PM tasks (Czernochowski, Horn, & Bayen, 2012). The results revealed higher monitoring frequencies for frequent than for rare PM cues, which suggest that this phenomenon is responsible for an increase of perceived importance for frequent PM cues.…”

BackgroundRegularity effect can affect performance in prospective memory (PM), but little is known on the cognitive processes linked to this effect. Moreover, its impacts with regard to aging remain unknown. To our knowledge, this study is the first to examine regularity effect in PM in a lifespan perspective, with a sample of young, intermediate, and older adults.Objective and designOur study examined the regularity effect in PM in three groups of participants: 28 young adults (18–30), 16 intermediate adults (40–55), and 25 older adults (65–80). The task, adapted from the Virtual Week, was designed to manipulate the regularity of the various activities of daily life that were to be recalled (regular repeated activities vs. irregular non-repeated activities). We examine the role of several cognitive functions including certain dimensions of executive functions (planning, inhibition, shifting, and binding), short-term memory, and retrospective episodic memory to identify those involved in PM, according to regularity and age.ResultsA mixed-design ANOVA showed a main effect of task regularity and an interaction between age and regularity: an age-related difference in PM performances was found for irregular activities (older < young), but not for regular activities. All participants recalled more regular activities than irregular ones with no age effect. It appeared that recalling of regular activities only involved planning for both intermediate and older adults, while recalling of irregular ones were linked to planning, inhibition, short-term memory, binding, and retrospective episodic memory.ConclusionTaken together, our data suggest that planning capacities seem to play a major role in remembering to perform intended actions with advancing age. Furthermore, the age-PM-paradox may be attenuated when the experimental design is adapted by implementing a familiar context through the use of activities of daily living. The clinical implications of regularity effect are discussed.
