Abstract
In 5 experiments, the character of concurrent cognitiveprocessing was manipulated during an event-based prospective memorytask. High- and low-load conditions that differed only in thedifficulty of the concurrent task were tested in each experiment. InExperiments 1 and 2, attention-demanding tasks from the literatureon executive control produced decrements in prospective memory. InExperiment 3, attention was divided by different loads ofarticulatory suppression that did not ultimately lead to decrementsin prospective memory. A high-load manipulation of a visuospatialtask requiring performance monitoring resulted in worse prospectivememory in Experiment 4, whereas in Experiment 5 a visuospatial taskwith little monitoring did not. Results are discussed in terms ofexecutive functions, such as planning and monitoring, that appear tobe critical to successful event-based prospective memory.
