Abstract

Purpose: Prospective memory (PM) questionnaires are frequently used to evaluate perceptions of PM skills in daily life. This study aimed to systematically investigate communication-specific attributes using pre-existing PM self-rating questionnaires to inform clinicians and researchers about the role of PM in cognitive communicative evaluations.

Methods: PM-related items from three questionnaires (i.e., Prospective Memory Questionnaire, Comprehensive Assessment of Prospective Memory, and Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire) were compiled and embedded in Google Forms and distributed to 70 Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) with expertise in Cognitive Communicative Disorders across India. Participants first identified items related to communication, and were then contacted to rate the communication-related PM items using a Likert scale for their degree of appropriateness. Responses from 40 SLPs were obtained and subjected to item-content validity index (i-CVI) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA).

Results: Of the 114 PM items, 28 received ratings over 50% for their relevance to communication. Of the 28 items, 21 had an i-CVI score greater than 0.8. After the removal of overlapping content, 14 items were finalized and subjected to EFA, which resulted in four factors: PM failure due to loss of communicative content, PM failure due to loss of communicative intent, PM cost due to ongoing interference, and PM failure linked to the priority of communicative intent.

Conclusion: This study highlights communication-related aspects of PM that can be used as a framework for SLPs to assess and research PM skills.

前瞻性记忆中与交流有关的方面：前瞻性记忆问卷的探索性因素分析。

目的：前瞻性记忆（PM）问卷常用于评估日常生活中对PM技能的认知。本研究旨在利用已有的前瞻性记忆自评问卷系统地调查沟通特异性属性，从而为临床医生和研究人员提供有关前瞻性记忆在认知沟通评价中的作用的信息：方法：将三份问卷（即前瞻性记忆问卷、前瞻性记忆综合评估问卷以及前瞻性和回顾性记忆问卷）中与PM相关的项目汇编并嵌入谷歌表格，然后分发给全印度70名具有认知交流障碍专业知识的语言病理学家（SLP）。参与者首先确定了与交流有关的项目，然后与他们取得联系，让他们使用李克特量表对与交流有关的 PM 项目的适当性进行评分。我们获得了 40 名语言康复师的回复，并对回复进行了项目-内容有效性指数（i-CVI）和探索性因子分析（EFA）：结果：在 114 个 PM 项目中，28 个项目与沟通的相关性评分超过 50%。在这 28 个项目中，21 个项目的 i-CVI 分值大于 0.8。在去除重叠内容后，最终确定了 14 个项目，并对其进行了 EFA 分析，得出了四个因子：四个因子分别是：沟通内容缺失导致的项目管理失败、沟通意图缺失导致的项目管理失败、持续干扰导致的项目管理成本、沟通意图优先导致的项目管理失败：本研究强调了与交流有关的催眠方面的问题，可作为辅助语言学习者评估和研究催眠技能的框架。
