The Effects Of Present Time In Advance And Task Overlap On Event-based Prospective Memory

Prospective memory is a unique phenomenon of human memory,all the time affects our daily lives.Prospective memory can be defined as the ability of remember and execution delay intention.According to the living situation of the prospective memory characteristics,the researchers designed a classic prospective memory task experimental paradigm,the prospective tasks set in the ongoing task,In the process of completing the ongoing task,the clues were inadvertently appeared,the main research is to investigate whether the subjects interrupt the ongoing task ongoing task in timely then complete successfully the Prospective task.In prospective memory activities,the key to complete the prospective memory task is to be aware of the prospective clues in timely.Previous studies have found that it is possible to detect the clues of prospective memory only after the completion of the task target detection.However,some studies have found that there is a possibility of being aware of prospective memory cues preferentially.As a result,whether the prospective memory cues can be priority awareness,and under what conditions can be first aware of there is no consistent conclusion so far.Therefore,it is necessary to further study the problem.In past studies,prospective clues mainly appear in the task sequence,but that was not enough to explain people well in the prospective memory task behavior,on the basis of this study by putting forward clues present time early in the target position,thus investigation clues to prospective memory can be priority in awareness.On the basis of previous studies,this research by putting forward clues present time early in the target position,thus investigate whether prospective memory clues can be priority in awareness.Secondly,previous studies have simply manipulated the prospective task and ongoing task,so that the higher the degree of separation between the prospective task and the task.This does not greatest extent explain the prospective memory clues whether there is a obvious priority detection effect.In order to further to discuss the ongoing task and prospective task to seize the attention of resources Simultaneously,Thus,this study presents prospective memory clues in the target location,at the same time appear in the search sequence,overlap the prospective tasks and ongoing task,to examine whether this task overlap inhibits priority perceive the perspective clues.This research adopts the double task paradigm of prospective memory and using eye movement technique inspects the detection effect of the prospective memory clues.Experiment 1 mainly as a baseline,Perspective clues normal rendering that appear in the search sequence,to examine the detection effect of different types of perspective clues under search sequence,whether prospective memory clues can be priority in awareness and how the ongoing task effect prospective clues detection.Experiment 2 is by changing the clues on the space of time,put prospective clues present in advance in the target location,to investigate when the clues be present in advance,whether prospective memory clues can be priority in awareness or ongoing tasks can also be priority processing.Experiment 3 is to increase the similarity of prospective tasks and ongoing task,overlap the prospective tasks and ongoing task,presents prospective memory clues in the target location,at the same time appear in the search sequence,to examine whether this task overlap inhibits priority perceive the perspective clues.This research adopts three experiments to study the influence of different experimental conditions on the prospective memory clues detecting,get the conclusion as follows:First,when perspective clues normal rendering that appear in the search sequence,most of the subjects is very difficult to detecting the forward-looking clues,ongoing tasks can be priority processing,need to consume more cognitive resources to complete the prospective memory successful.Especially when the search sequence with prospective clues and ongoing mission objectives appear at the same time,prospective clues could be aware of the possibility of lower,ongoing task almost get processing advantages.Second,when put the prospective clues present in advance in the target location,the possibility of detecting the prospective clues was increased greatly,and the processing required fewer cognitive resources,and largely improves the performance of prospective memory,greatly weakened and weakened the ongoing task priority processing effect.Third,task overlap to some extent can inhibit priority perceive the perspective clues,especially,when the target is consistent with the prospective target in the sequence,ongoing task and prospective task of resource plunder competition were intense,can induce subjects Prior to processing ongoing task to a certain extent.However,when the target is not consistent with the prospective target in the sequence,the intensity is alleviated.Fourth,prospective memory with multiple processing features,subject to different presentation opportunities and task characteristics.
