“…For instance, in attention-demanding PM tasks, age-related decreases can be generally expected. Moreover, it is well documented that older adults perform less well than younger adults in event-based PM in the laboratory (e.g., Ballhausen, Schnitzspahn, Horn, & Kliegel, 2017;Horn et al, 2013;Schnitzspahn et al, 2012;Zuber & Kliegel, 2020). Specifically, for event-based PM tasks involving so-called nonfocal target events (in which the target features are not necessarily relevant for the ongoing-task decisions) theories of PM have assumed that engagement of attention-demanding processes is necessary, directed toward identifying targets (e.g., Horn & Bayen, 2015;McDaniel & Einstein, 2007;Scullin et al, 2010).…”

Motivational and emotional changes across adulthood have a profound impact on cognition. In this registered report, we conducted an experimental investigation of motivational influence on remembering intentions after a delay (prospective memory; PM) in younger, middle-aged, and older adults, using gain-and loss-framing manipulations. The present study examined for the first time whether motivational framing in a PM task has different effects on younger and older adults' PM performance (N = 180; age range: 18-85 years) in a controlled laboratory setting. Based on lifespan theories of motivation, we assumed that the prevention of losses becomes more relevant with increasing age: We expected that older adults show relatively higher PM performance in a task with loss-related consequences following PM failure than in a task in which successful PM leads to gains. The opposite pattern of performance was expected for younger adults. The findings suggest that the relevance of reward and positive gain-related consequences for successful remembering appears to decrease with age. As hypothesised, a motivational framing × age interaction indicated that age differences in memory performance were smaller with lossrelated than gain-related consequences, supporting a loss-prevention view on motivated cognition.

“…Hence, records in other languages, commentaries, narrative/qualitative reviews, editorials, book chapters, and abstracts were not considered for further analysis. The following exclusion criteria were also applied: (a) studies that manipulated the cognitive load of the PM cue (e.g., Ballhausen et al, 2017 ; Cohen, 2013 ), as these conditions have been shown to affect OT performance ( Meier & Zimmermann, 2015 ), (b) studies that included delay-execute conditions or activity-based PM tasks (i.e., the PM response had to be performed after a particular task has finished; Brewer et al, 2011 ), as PM cues did not appear during the OT, (c) studies that included clinical samples, as PM might be particularly affected in this context (e.g., Albinski et al, 2012 ), (d) studies that involved drug interventions and/or ingestion of substances (e.g., Rusted, & Trawley, 2006 ), or that manipulated other factors including sleep (e.g., Barner et al, 2016 ), or that used neuromodulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (e.g., Basso et al, 2010 ), (e) experiments that included children, adolescents, and older adults (e.g., Cheie et al, 2017 ; Zollig et al, 2007 ) given that previous research had demonstrated that PM follows an inverted U-shape developmental trajectory ( Zuber & Kliegel, 2019 ; Zimmermann & Meier, 2006 ). So, by including only young and middle-age adults, age effects were somewhat restricted to this developmental stage.…”

This paper is the first systematic review on the role of ongoing task load in prospective remembering, which was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Forty articles published between 1995 and 2020 were included. They evaluated prospective memory (PM) performance (i.e., the ability to remember to execute a delayed intention) in adult samples aged between 19 and 50 years old when the PM cue appeared under cognitively demanding conditions. The results revealed that people are more likely to fail to remember to perform a delayed intention at the appropriate circumstances or time in the future when their cognitive resources are taxed by demanding ongoing activities. We conclude the review by highlighting that the degree of working memory and executive resources seems to account for some of the discrepant findings and by proposing directions for future research.

“…(ii) To examine the effects of age (from 9 to 13 years), gender, and their possible interaction on the EPELI measures. As executive functions (Best & Miller, 2010;Klenberg, 2015) and prospective memory (Ballhausen et al, 2019;Mahy et al, 2014;Zuber et al, 2019;Zuber & Kliegel, 2020) continue developing during the early school years and beyond, we expected to see better EPELI performances (higher total scores and efficacies) in older children within our age range. Even though the issue of gender differences in executive functions is controversial, there is some evidence that males may be more impulsive than females across the lifespan (for a review, see Grissom & Reynes, 2019).…”

“…To this end, children also performed an instruction recall task, in which they orally repeated a list of tasks similar to those that they executed in EPELI. Studying the associations between the instruction recall task and EPELI was expected to clarify the links between encoding and execution, which are intertwined in prospective memory performance (Kliegel et al, 2008; see also Zuber & Kliegel, 2020).…”

A recently developed virtual reality task, EPELI (Executive Performance in Everyday LIving), quantifies goal-directed behavior in naturalistic conditions. Participants navigate a virtual apartment, performing household chores given by a virtual character. EPELI aims to tap attention, executive function, and prospective memory. In the present study, we examined several key properties of EPELI in 77 typically developing 9–13-year-old children, namely its internal consistency, age and gender differences, sensitivity to gaming experience, head-mounted display (HMD) type, and verbal recall ability, as well as its relationships with parent-rated everyday executive problems. Of the eight EPELI measures, the following six showed good internal consistency: task and navigation efficacy, number of correctly performed tasks and overall actions, time monitoring, and controller movement. Some measures were associated with age, gender, or verbal encoding ability. Moreover, EPELI performance was associated with parent-rated everyday executive problems. There were no significant associations of gaming background, task familiarity, or HMD type with the EPELI measures. These results attest to the reliability and validity of this new virtual reality tool for the ecologically valid assessment of attention, executive functions, and prospective memory in children.
