Abstract

Prospective memory (PM) plays a crucial role in daily autonomy. Metamemory and emotional valence have both been shown to influence PM performance in younger and older adults. However, when considered together, the relationship between emotional valence, metamemory, and PM has not been examined yet, especially whether metamemory PM representations develop with task experience (i.e., before versus after performing a task). We collected data from 25 younger and 19 older adults using an event-based PM task with emotional cues (positive, negative, or neutral). Results revealed that younger adults’ predictions underestimated performance for neutral and negative cues. After performing the task, they showed more accurate representations for neutral cues, indicating that they monitored their representations. Older adults’ predictions overestimated performance for negative PM cues, and they did not modify representations after performing the task. Thus, we do not find evidence that older adults are able to coherently monitor their PM representations. These findings highlight the importance of understanding PM representations, especially in older adults, as they may lead to less strategy use and more impaired PM performance in negative everyday situations.
探索年轻人和老年人的情绪价值与前瞻性记忆元记忆之间的关系
前瞻记忆在日常自主性中起着至关重要的作用。元记忆和情绪效价都对年轻人和老年人的PM表现有影响。然而,当综合考虑时,情绪效价、元记忆和PM之间的关系尚未得到检验,特别是元记忆PM表征是否随着任务经验而发展(即在执行任务之前和之后)。我们使用基于事件的PM任务收集了25名年轻人和19名老年人的数据,这些任务带有情绪线索(积极的、消极的或中性的)。结果显示,年轻人的预测低估了中性和消极线索的表现。在完成任务后,他们对中性线索表现出更准确的表征,这表明他们监控了自己的表征。老年人的预测高估了负面PM提示的表现,并且他们在完成任务后没有修改表征。因此,我们没有发现证据表明老年人能够连贯地监测他们的PM表征。这些发现强调了理解PM表征的重要性,特别是在老年人中,因为它们可能导致在消极的日常情况下策略使用减少和PM表现受损。
