Description

Previous researches on prospective memory revealed an age-related paradox. Namely, younger participants performed better than older participants in laboratory settings, while older participants performed better than younger participants in naturalistic settings. The present review dealt with the major factors in the age-related paradox. First, the researches in laboratory settings mainly focused on not only demands of retrospective memory and complexities of tasks, but also materials of tasks, perceptions of importance for the tasks, and effects of practices. Second, the researches in naturalistic settings mainly focused on individual characteristics, life style, and effects of reminder strategies. It was concluded that researches should be executed both prospective memory tasks within the same samples in view of an ecological validity, so as to solve the age-related paradox in prospective memory studies.
