Abstract

Prospective memory (PM) involves remembering to perform an intended action at the appropriate time in the future. People must frequently perform PM tasks in daily life. After providing an introduction to standard laboratory and naturalistic research paradigms for the study of PM, this chapter includes a critical review of current theories of PM and formal modeling approaches for the study of cognitive processes underlying performance in PM tasks. The chapter then provides an overview of the life span development of PM from childhood to older adulthood, followed by an overview of applied aspects and a review of the literature on PM in clinical populations.
