This study tested 119 junior high school students and 219 college students by using prospective
memory test material including anxiety scale and prospective memory self-evaluation test. Its
independent variables include anxiety levels and age. The results show that: (1) anxiety mood has
significant effects on the self-evaluation scores of prospective memory test; (2) prospective
memory scores of college students are significantly higher than those of junior high school
students.
1063.146 Prospective memory, working memory and self-rated memory in individuals with
intellectual disability, Anna Levén 1 , Björn Lyxell 1 , Jan Andersson 2 , Henrik Danielsson 1 , 1 The
Swedish Institute for Disability Research, Linköping University, Sweden; 2 The Swedish Defence
Research Agency, Sweden
The relationship between prospective memory, working memory and self-rated memory
performance was studied among individuals with intellectual disability and individuals without
intellectual disability. The result demonstrates inter- and intra-individual differences in prospective
memory, and working memory that are more prominent for individuals with intellectual disability.
Self-rated memory did not differ between the two groups, although there were large differences in
memory performance on the other memory tasks. The results are interpreted as limitations in
various aspects of working memory which contribute to failures in prospective memory
performance in individuals with intellectual disability.
1063.147 External memory aids in prospective memory tasks, Hong Chen, China
This study investigated how the availability of external memory aids affects the cognitive
processes in prospective memory tasks. Forty-eight subjects were instructed to memorize
to-be-executed scripts and to-be-recalled scripts, and then perform the former scripts three minutes
after the start of a recognition test. The results indicated that in the “no instruction” condition,
recognition latencies were shorter for words from the to-be-executed scripts than for words from
the to-be-recalled scripts. This did not occur in either the timer or memo instruction conditions.
The results suggest that external memory aids affect the rehearsal and monitoring processes in
prospective memory tasks.
1063.148Profile of personality and prospective memory (PM), Jose M. Arana, Juan J.G. Meilan,
Enrique Perez, University of Salamanca, Spain
Do people who do better in PM tasks have a specific personality profile compared to those people
who score lower? In other words: can we predict the results in PM tasks from a specific
combination of personality traits? Research about this topic is not conclusive. A pilot study was
run in order to explore the relationship between PM and personality. After being evaluated in a
PM tasks, participants were classified in two extreme groups and completed the 16 PF-5 (Cattell et
al., 2003). Results suggest that in fact other non cognitive aspects are involved in PM
performance.
