“…Simple correlational analyses on the whole sample (N = 260) revealed that total diary-recorded PM failures positively correlated with PTSD symptom severity, a small effect (r = .21, 95% CI [0.09, 0.32], p < .001). 3 Consistent with our hypothesis that the relationship would be larger for time-than event-based failures -because time-based tasks rely more on executive functions often impaired in PTSD (e.g., Raskin et al, 2011;Yang et al, 2015) -timebased PM failures correlated with PTSD symptom severity (r = .29, [0.18, 0.40], p < .001), but event-based PM failures did not (r = .08, [-0.04, 0.20], p = .18); this difference was statistically significant, t(257) = 3.52, p = .001. Total failures also correlated with each PTSD symptom subscale (Table 2).…”

“…The finding that time-based but not event-based failures correlated with PTSD symptom severity provides insight into which PM processes might be impaired amongst people with worse PTSD symptoms. According to the multiprocess framework (McDaniel & Einstein, 2000), PM tasks involve automatic (i.e., bottom-up process involving spontaneous retrieval without ongoing monitoring) or controlled (i.e., top-down memory function involving active maintenance, while scanning for cues; McDaniel & Einstein, 2000; cognitive Typically, time-based tasks rely more on controlled processes that rely heavily on executive function (Yang et al, 2015). Thus, we could speculate that these controlled or higher-order executive functioning processes seem impaired in the everyday life of people with PTSD, compared to their automatic counterparts.…”

I forgot that I forgot: PTSD symptom severity in a general population correlates with everyday diary-recorded prospective memory failures

Extant research suggests a complex relationship between prospective memory (PM) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity. In a general population, this relationship exists for self-report assessment but not objective, in-lab PM performance (e.g., pressing a certain key at a particular time, or when particular words appear). However, both these measurement methods have limitations. Objective, in-lab PM tasks might not represent typical everyday performance, while self-report measurement might be biased by metacognitive beliefs. Thus, we used a naturalistic diary paradigm to answer the overarching question: are PTSD symptoms associated with PM failures in everyday life? We found a small positive correlation between diary-recorded PM errors and PTSD symptom severity (r = .21). Time-based tasks (i.e., intentions completed at a particular time, or after a specified time has elapsed; r = .29), but not event-based tasks (i.e., intentions completed in response to an environmental cue; r = .08), correlated with PTSD symptoms. Moreover, although diary-recorded and self-report PM correlated, we did not replicate the finding that metacognitive beliefs underpin the PM-PTSD relationship. These results suggest that metacognitive beliefs might be particularly important for self-report PM only.

“…For those with OCD, prospective memory (i.e., remember to perform an action) showed a moderate impairment (d = 0.43) relative to controls. In an experimental study, Yang, Peng, Wang, Geng, Miao, Shum, Cheung, and Chan (2015) proposed that deficits in prospective memory in OCD may be attributable to impairments in executive functions such as updating and mental-shifting. Snyder et al (2015) identified updating as significantly impaired in OCD, suggesting that such prospective memory impairments are secondary to executive dysfunction.…”

Even though memory performance is a commonly researched aspect of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a coherent and unified explanation of the role of specific cognitive factors has remained elusive. To address this, the present meta-analysis examined the predictive validity of Harkin and Kessler's (2011) Executive Function, Binding Complexity and Memory Load (EBL) Classification System concerning affected versus unaffected memory performance in OCD. We employed a multi-level meta-analytic approach (Viechtbauer, 2010) to accommodate the interdependent nature of the EBL model and interdependency of effect sizes (305 effect sizes from 144 studies, including 4424 OCD patients). Results revealed that the EBL model predicted memory performance; i.e., as EBL demand increases, those with OCD performed progressively worse on memory tasks. Executive function was the driving mechanism behind the EBL's impact on OCD memory performance, as it negated binding complexity, memory load, and visual or verbal task differences. Comparisons of sub-task effect sizes were also generally in accord with the cognitive parameters of the EBL taxonomy. We conclude that standardised coding of tasks along individual cognitive dimensions and multi-level meta-analyses provide a new approach to examine multidimensional models of memory and cognitive performance in OCD and other disorders.

“…20 The literature review also revealed that most studies like Cuttler and Graf, [15][16][17] Palmer et al, 21 and Vafa et al 22 used questionnaires like the Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire and Prospective Memory Questionnaire (PMQ), which might not provide an objective understanding of the variable under study as questionnaires have their disadvantages. A few studies used individuals with clinical OC symptoms and performance tests 14,23,24 while assessing PM functioning or its nature. The objective of our study was to assess PM deficits in patients with OCD and assess PM functioning using a performance-based task.…”

Background: The role of memory in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has been an area of research that has yielded mixed results, particularly in prospective memory (PM) functioning. Hence, one objective of the study was to assess PM deficits in patients with OCD. Also, research in this area has been sparse, and most researchers have used questionnaires and people with subclinical symptoms of OCD, which might have impacted the generalizability of the findings. Thus, the second objective was to assess PM functioning using a performance-based task in persons with OCD having clinical symptoms. Methods: This is a cross-sectional comparative study of 30 adults with OCD and 30 adults without psychiatric morbidity. The tools used were Dimensional Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (DY-BOCS), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ 12), and Cambridge Prospective Memory Test (CAMPROMPT). Results: Event-based PM was significantly poor in the OCD group. In time-based PM, no significant difference was found between the groups. Three subgroups in OCD, predominantly obsessions, predominantly compulsions, and mixed types, did not differ significantly with respect to PM. Conclusion: The result suggested a deficit of event-based PM in OCD, which can help understand the psychopathology of memory deficit in the clinical population and bridge the gap with respect to memory research in this domain.
