Remembering to carry out a previously formed intention is termed “prospective memory. Results are discussed within the context of current theoretical models of prospective memory. However, there were minimal effects of age and no effect of cue displacement on participants ’ ability to recall the intention once they detected a cue (retrospective component performance). Young adults successfully detected a larger proportion of cues (prospective component) than older adults. Perceptual displacement of cues modulated performance of the prospective component but not the retrospective component. Pozen, Freedom of Information Beyond the Freedom of Information Act, 165, U. It’s widely used in law, and also when legal materials need to be cited in other disciplines. The prospective component (successful detection of the cue) and the retrospective memory component (recalling the correct response when a cue is detected) were measured separately. The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation is the main style guide for legal citations in the US. Perceptual distinctiveness was manipulated by spatially displacing a single letter. Each prospective cue was associated with a specific response. On each trial, participants were asked to indicate the position of a target letter in a letter string, unless either of two letters previously identified as prospective memory cues was presented. Young and older adults completed a visual search task with embedded prospective memory instructions.

Distinctiveness of cues on prospective memory performance was examined.
