The Study Of Divided Attention?Working Memory Load And Reminder On Time-based Prospective Memory Of Children With Learning Disabilities

Time-based prospective memory (tbPM) refers to the individual remember to do some behavior at a point or after a period of time in the future.It plays an important role to maintain normal work and life.Previous theoretical examined that the children with learning disabilitiespoorer than normal children in tbPM task, they considered the defect of the central executive function lead to it.Therefore, on the basis of previous research,we first focus on tbPM"s characteristics (time-based pulse intentions,time-based step intentions)on the children with learning disabilities,and inspection information processing,In this research, there are three studies: Study One investigate whether divided attention or not can affect tbPM task in the children with learning disabilities.By changing working memory load at ongoing's task,Study Two investigated whether working memory load or not can change result of tbPM task in the children with learning disabilities; In Study Three we tries to study the effects of the reminder how to affect time-based prospective memory task in the children with learning disabilities.By three experiments, We can draw the following conclusions:(1) In different conditions, there are significant difference on the tbPM accuracy and ongoing reaction time between children wtih learning disabilities and better-learning children, students with learning disabilities were worse on tbPM performance than better-learning children;(2)in divided attention condition the participants perform worse than not divided attention,because individuals in distraction state can't keep monitoring lead to miss time.(3) there are no significant difference on the time-based pulse intentions,time-based step intentions;(4) When the time to complete background task is urgent, the participants perform worse than low working memory load;(5) The reminders incresed two ability groups increse tbPM task.(6)the different conditions in three experiments are incresed the participants ongoing reaction time.
