A6.19
Prospective memory and forgotten to-dos
Cards in this group · 5
- A6.19.1Prospective memory means remembering to act at a future time or occasion, distinct from recalling the past
- A6.19.2Event-based prospective memory relies on an external cue; time-based relies on internal monitoring
- A6.19.3Without an explicit reminder, time-based intentions are the ones most likely to be forgotten outright
- A6.19.4Interrupting the current task drains prospective-memory resources, so more frequent interruption raises the odds of a missed to-do
- A6.19.5System reminders should bind to the triggering context, not just record to-do text
