Cognitive Load Effects On Prospective Memory: The Perspective Of Cognitive Resources Co., Ltd

Prospective memory and peoples daily lives are closely related. Such high-level cognitiveactivities contribute largely to the human as an individual as well as the adaptability of the race. Inrecent years, people began to realize the importance of good prospective memory ability to meetdaily needs.Prospective memory refers to memories of activities and events to be completed in the future.Prospective memory includes two components, forward-looking ingredients and backwardingredients. For older people, they often have health-related prospective memory demands，prospective memory problems may influent the elderly live independently. Winnograd（Lizengzhang，2004）proposed that the early development of prospective memory skills is particularlyimportant in children to successfully deal with various situations of everyday life. Thus, thepractical value of prospective memory research is to provide guidance for the parents of thescientific education of children, provide some guidance for the class under the teachers classroomteaching and student learning.An interesting feature of prospective memory even though it is very common in everyday life,practical memory researchers but then prospective memory, relatively few studies（Einstein, G. O.,Holland, L. J., McDaniel, M. A., Guynn, M. J.1992）. This is mainly because the controlling poorresults in the natural and social environment of prospective memory accuracy. Although thepractical study of prospective memory is relatively small, but practical prospective memoryresearch and real life situations very close to the experimental conclusion is easily extended toeveryday life, the lives of everyday life, learning, and teaching work has Some guidingsignificance.Prospective memory research has important theoretical and practical meanings. Throughfurther research on prospective memory in theory, cognitive psychologists, can reveal the internalmechanisms of prospective memory, the neural mechanisms of prospective memory, and a soundtheoretical system of the prospective memory. Secondly, prospective memory in-depth study ofpractical significance: Prospective memory failures often appear for the elderly to help improvethe quality of life of older persons, help patients to effectively detect certain memory aspects ofthe disease, prevention and treatment of delayed diagnosis, receiving treatment in a timely manner to better…etc.This project aims to study the prospective memory task when cognitive load is different,cognitive resources is how to allocate, and to further explore the individuals cognitive resources indifferent cognitive load between ongoing tasks and forward-looking task distribution. To takeadvantage of this cognitive resources allocation law to guide day-to-day work, learning andmemory problems in life. Especially guide and help education and teaching.
