The Effect Of Implementation Intentions On The Event-based Prospective Memory Across Adolescence

Since the prospective memory laboratory paradigm was developed by Einsteinand McDaniel (1990)， many researchers have done many researches on agedevelopment，influence factors and the processing mechanism and so on.But there，s little research about the teenagers，prospective memory development and not get aconsistent conclusion so far. Implementation intentions is thought to be a veryeffective self-regulation strategy, And many studies have also proved it. But mostresearchers tend to believe that Implementation intentions mechanism is a kind ofautomatic mechanism. The article is basis on the prospective memory laboratoryparadigm, creatively to join the pairs of prospective memory task, In order to explorethe prospective memory difference between Junior and college students as well as theprocessing mechanism of prospective memory implementation intentions and theprospective memory. Experiment1use vocabulary identification to explore theprospective memory development of the teenagers, and join the implementationintentions to identify the strategy is useful as for the adults. On the basis ofpredecessors’ experimental design, the Lab2join the pairs of prospective memory taskto eliminate the state of preparation for a prospective memory formation randomly, inorder to research the processing mechanism of prospective memory implementationintentions. The resultant difference on prospective memory, but the Junior high schoolstudents’ reaction was significantly higher than college students, Show that age effectexists. Prospective memory implementation intentions are a kind of preparatoryattentional processes and memory processes theory rather than an automatic mechanism，and the prospective memory is also limited for the attention resource,soit’s a kind of preparatory attentional processes and memory processes theory...
