“…Cuttler and Graf's (2007) finding that subclinical checkers performed worse on an event-based task, but not the time-based task, is surprising. Typically, if differences between time-based and event-based tests are found, difficulties are reported on time-based tests rather than event-based tests (Einstein, McDaniel, Marsh, West, & John, 2008), and time-based tests are generally regarded as more difficult. Cuttler and Graf (2007) argued that the cues for event-based tasks are less predictable than those for time-based tasks, and that this uncertainty gives rise to an urge to check that may interfere with task performance.…”

Evidence of Impaired Event-Based Prospective Memory in Clinical Obsessive–Compulsive Checking

Based on findings from subclinical OCD checking samples (Cuttler & Graf, 2007; 2008), Cuttler and Graf (2009) suggested that checking may develop to compensate for prospective memory failures. The present study provides the first evidence of prospective memory problems in a clinical sample of OCD checkers (n = 26) compared to a group of healthy controls (n = 26). Consistent with earlier work with subclinical samples, the OCD checkers performed more poorly on an event-based, but not a time-based, prospective memory task. However, the OCD checkers did not report more subjective prospective memory failures than controls and their confidence in prospective memory accuracy was higher than that of controls. An explanation of the inconsistent findings with regard to metamemory in clinical and subclinical OCD checking is provided. Further research assessing both subjective memory performance and the strategies understood to support memory is needed to clarify the contribution of prospective memory to OCD checking.

“…PM is frequently engaged in everyday life and is highly relevant for maintaining functional independence and wellbeing, especially among older adults. 2 , 3 Ergo, the importance of studies which improve PM among older adults, especially in ´aging´ countries like Malaysia, is evident. 4 …”

“…Based upon the nature of the cue, PM can be divided into three types; time-based (e.g., remember to meet someone at 10:00 am), event-based (e.g., remember to mail a letter when passing the post office), and activity-based (e.g., remember to call a friend after lunch). 2 Moreover, PM is a multi-step cognitive process functioning in four stages: [1] intention formation, [ii] the delay maintenance interval, [iii] self-initiated cue recognition and intention retrieval, and [iv] intention execution. 5 , 6 …”

The surrounding circumstances and environments of Malaysian older adults could make conducting interventions (mainly in terms of clinical or randomized controlled trials) a challenge. Working with older adults and facing cultural issues could be challenging.Objective:This paper illustrates a significant perspective of some of the challenges faced while conducting a randomized controlled trial exploring the impact of a multi-component intervention that included strategy- and process-based prospective memory (PM) training among Malaysian older adults.Methods:The current study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and therefore the challenges were presented in accordance with the CONSORT statement style.Results:A discussion on how these issues were addressed is provided.Conclusion:Some suggestions were presented to help researchers plan and create interventions for similar studies and to support a practical method of addressing all related challenges.

“…remembering to send an e-mail at 11 a.m.). More recently, an activity-based PM task was also mentioned in the literature (Brewer et al, 2011;Einstein, McDaniel, Marsh, & West, 2008), in which ending the ongoing activity should trigger the previously planned action (e.g. remembering to send the e-mail after finishing reading the morning newspapers).…”

What was I supposed to do? Effects of individual differences in age and anxiety on preschoolers’ prospective memory

Prospective memory (PM) refers to remembering to perform a previously planned action at the appropriate time or in the appropriate context. The present study investigated the effects of individual differences in age and trait anxiety on PM performance in 3-5-and 5-7-year-olds. Two types of PM measures were used: an event-based task, requiring ongoing activity interruption across two conditions (with/without memory aid), and an activity-based task, requiring PM action implementation after the main activity was finalized. On the event-based PM task, we found that: all children benefited from the external memory aid; the 5-7-year-old group outperformed the 3-5-year-olds; and higher levels of anxiety negatively affected only the younger age group. On the activity-based PM task, we found no significant age-group differences, while higher anxiety negatively predicted children's PM performance. Findings support and extend the literature on early PM development, revealing the benefits of external cueing and the potential detrimental effects of anxiety.
