MECHANISMS OF PROSPECTIVE MEMORY Flashcards
1
Q
SMITH (2003)
A
PAM theory(prospective, attention ) result1: agreed with smith's prediction
2
Q
CRITIQUE OF THE STUDY
A
Counterintuitive
implications for everyday life
3
Q
A
multi-process theory of PM (2002)
4
Q
FOCAL VS NON-FOCAL EVENT BASED PM
A
To differentiate between focal and non-focal, look at the type of word
ongoing task: lexical decision task
focal PM cue: word ‘tortoise’, word ‘bear’
non-focal PM: syllable ‘tor’, animal word
5
Q
A
result: no evidence for measuring in the focal condition
multiprocess theory: high focal, now non-focal
6
Q
CONCLUSION ON PM THEORIES
A
PAM THEORIES: evidence for effortful monitoring and retrieval processes
DYNAMIC MULTI-PROCESS THEORY:
Q: CAN NEUROSCIENCE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE?
7
Q

brain areas involved :
frontal lobe ()
hippocampus
8
Q
A
increased evidence in support of flexible mechanisms
