“…In other words, a demanding pro-social intention may mitigate or neutralise some of the detrimental effects of collaboration. Coherently with Brandimonte et al (2010), a small personal benefit (as in our Experiment 2) slightly affected prospective memory performance. Previous studies reported that incentives enhance prospective memory (e.g., Guajardo & Best, 2000;Meacham & Singer, 1977).…”

“…The social underpinnings of remembering to perform an action in the future (i.e., prospective memory, PM) have been recently shown to be an important feature of prospective memory functioning (Brandimonte, Ferrante, Bianco, & Villani, 2010). One emergent, though neglected, issue refers to the way people remember to do things with others and for others.…”

“…However, just a handful of studies (Altgassen, Kliegel, Brandimonte, & Filippello, 2010;Brandimonte et al, 2010;Johansson, Andersson, & Rön-nberg, 2000;Shaefer & Laing, 2000) have investigated how social factors activate motivation in remembering to do things in the future. Also, none of these studies have considered at the same time two different kinds of motivation (collaboration and pro-sociality) as social determinants.…”

“…Recently, Brandimonte et al (2010) investigated the relationship between pro-social intentions and motivation. They found that the likelihood that the intention will be realised increased if the to be performed action provided a benefit or avoided a damage to someone else, with respect to a control task.…”

“…Finally, we explored (c) whether pro-social motivation leads socially interacting participants to adopt attention-based strategies to be more effective in the execution of an event based PM task. In fact, some researchers reported that task importance improves the likelihood to remember to do something in the future (Andrzejewski, Moore, Corvette, & Hereman, 1991;Brandimonte et al, 2010;Cicogna & Nigro, 1998;Kliegel, Martin, McDaniel, & Einstein, 2004;Meacham & Singer, 1977). According to the Multi-process theory (Einstein, McDaniel, Thomas, Mayfield, Shank, Morrisette et al, 2005;McDaniel & Einstein, 2000), people can rely on a relatively automatic and associative process to carry out an intention.…”

Task Importance Effects on Prospective Memory Strategy Use

Mnemonic strategies generally improve prospective memory (PM) performance. However, little is known about why people use such strategies. In the Motivational-Cognitive Prospective Memory model, task importance is thought to influence performance via multiple mechanisms, including increased strategy use. Our main purpose was to test this mechanism: higher PM task importance was hypothesized to cause greater strategy use. We also tested whether importance would specifically increase the use of more effective (external) strategies. Participants reported their strategy use for two hypothetical PM tasks. As predicted, they listed more strategies for more important tasks. This result demonstrates one mechanism for motivational effects in early phases of the task. We found weaker support for the prediction that participants would selectively increase their use of better strategies for more important tasks. This finding supports a relatively pessimistic view of meta-memory in PM, at least when it comes to modulating one's use of dependable strategies.

Remembering to perform a delayed intention is termed prospective memory (PM). Often delayed intentions are shared by more than one person; however, there is a dearth of studies examining PM in social settings. We aimed to investigate whether the potential consequences of one's behavior across diverse group settings influence PM performance in event-and time-based tasks. A total of 207 participants were randomly allocated to either an individual, collaborative, or collaborative plus penalty motivation condition and were tested in a 2-or 3-person setting. For the time-based PM task, participants responded less timely in the individual motivation condition, whereas there was no difference between the collaborative motivation conditions. No significant effects were found for motivation condition on the event-based task or for group size on PM performance. Analyses of ongoing task performance revealed that participants' attention allocation policies change depending on how individuals prioritize the ongoing and PM tasks.
