“…Participants in the visualization group were not instructed to describe their visualizations out loud. These instructions are consistent with the experimental approach previously utilized by Brewer et al (2011). PM task performance was binary; participants either met criteria for intact PM recall (Complete) by initiating the MMT-R following presentation of the correct event cue (the grooved pegboard stimulus), and before they began the grooved pegboard task, or they did not meet criteria (Incomplete) for any reason.…”

HIV disease is commonly associated with deficits in prospective memory (PM), which increase the risk of suboptimal health behaviors, like medication non-adherence. This study examined the potential benefits of a brief future visualization exercise during the encoding stage of a naturalistic PM task in 60 young adults (19–24 years) with HIV disease. Participants were administered a brief clinical neuropsychological assessment, which included a standardized performance-based measure of time- and event-based PM. All participants were also given a naturalistic PM task in which they were asked to complete a mock medication management task when the examiner showed them the Grooved Pegboard Test during their neuropsychological evaluation. Participants were randomized into: 1) a visualization condition in which they spent 30 sec imagining successfully completing the naturalistic PM task; or (2) a control condition in which they repeated the task instructions. Logistic regression analyses revealed significant interactions between clinical neurocognitive functions and visualization. HIV+ participants with intact retrospective learning and/or low time-based PM demonstrated observable gains from the visualization technique, while HIV+ participants with impaired learning and/or intact time-based PM did not evidence gains. Findings indicate that individual differences in neurocognitive ability moderate the response to visualization in HIV+ young adults. The extent to which such cognitive supports improve health-related PM outcomes (e.g., medication adherence) remains to be determined.

“…Yet in the real world our contexts and ongoing activities change often (Marsh, Hicks, & Cook, 2008), and we may not know for certain the context in which the prospective memory intention needs to be executed. Moreover, as illustrated in Figure 1 (Example 3), even when we might predict the context in which an intention (e.g., delivering a colleague a message) is likely to be executed (e.g., the workplace), retrieval may not be so inflexible that it cannot occur in other contexts (e.g., encountering the colleague at the gym), as has been demonstrated by the intention interference literature (Brewer, Knight, Meeks, & Marsh, 2011; Cohen, Dixon, & Lindsay, 2005; Cohen, Kantner, Dixon, & Lindsay, 2011; Einstein et al, 2005; Knight et al, 2011; McDaniel & Scullin, 2010; Rummel, Einstein, & Rampey, 2012; Scullin, Einstein, & McDaniel, 2009; West, McNerney, & Travers, 2007; but cf. Schult & Steffens, 2013).…”

The ability to remember to execute delayed intentions is referred to as prospective memory. Previous theoretical and empirical work has focused on isolating whether a particular prospective memory task is supported either by effortful monitoring processes or by cue-driven spontaneous processes. In the present work, we advance the Dynamic Multiprocess Framework, which contends that both monitoring and spontaneous retrieval may be utilized dynamically to support prospective remembering. To capture the dynamic interplay between monitoring and spontaneous retrieval we had participants perform many ongoing tasks and told them that their prospective memory cue may occur in any context. Following either a 20-min or a 12-hr retention interval, the prospective memory cues were presented infrequently across three separate ongoing tasks. The monitoring patterns (measured as ongoing task cost relative to a between-subjects control condition) were consistent and robust across the three contexts. There was no evidence for monitoring prior to the initial prospective memory cue; however, individuals who successfully spontaneously retrieved the prospective memory intention, thereby realizing that prospective memory cues could be expected within that context, subsequently monitored. These data support the Dynamic Multiprocess Framework, which contends that individuals will engage monitoring when prospective memory cues are expected, disengage monitoring when cues are not expected, and that when monitoring is disengaged, a probabilistic spontaneous retrieval mechanism can support prospective remembering.

“…Thus, intrinsic motivation may enable the automatic retrieval of a prospective memory task and therefore importance manipulations must not necessarily be accompanied by a cost in the ongoing task performance (e.g., Penningroth and Scott, 2007). It is possible that for these kinds of importance manipulations similar mechanisms may be at work as for other manipulations used to enhance prospective memory performance such as implementation intentions, imagery of a prospective memory task, or performance predictions (e.g., Gollwitzer, 1999; McDaniel et al, 2008b; Meeks and Marsh, 2009; Zimmermann and Meier, 2010; Brewer et al, 2011; Grilli and McFarland, 2011; McFarland and Glisky, 2011; Meier et al, 2011; Schult and Steffens, 2011; Rummel et al, 2012). …”

Forgetting to carry out an intention as planned can have serious consequences in everyday life. People sometimes even forget intentions that they consider as very important. Here, we review the literature on the impact of importance on prospective memory performance. We highlight different methods used to manipulate the importance of a prospective memory task such as providing rewards, importance relative to other ongoing activities, absolute importance, and providing social motives. Moreover, we address the relationship between importance and other factors known to affect prospective memory and ongoing task performance such as type of prospective memory task (time-, event-, or activity-based), cognitive loads, and processing overlaps. Finally, we provide a connection to motivation, we summarize the effects of task importance and we identify important venues for future research.
