Abstract

Prospective memory (PM) is future-oriented memory that requires planning ahead, maintaining intention, recognizing cues, and responding correctly in time. PM tasks are susceptible to personality traits such as impulsivity. Barratt holds that impulsivity can be divided into three dimensions: non-planning impulsiveness, attentional impulsiveness, and motor impulsiveness. The characteristics of impulsive individuals in these three areas may contribute to their PM disadvantage. This study explored the impact of impulsivity on PM. Experiment 1 investigated the influence of impulsivity on PM under different attention load conditions. The results showed that the impulsive group was inferior only under the condition of high attention load; this effect was mainly related to the characteristics of attentional impulsiveness and motor impulsiveness. Experiment 2 explored the effect of impulsivity on PM under different response types, which were divided into delayed response condition and non-delayed response condition. The results showed that delayed response eliminated the impulsive individuals' deficiency in PM performance. This study focused on the influencing factors and processing mechanism by which impulsivity affects PM. It also found an effective method to improve the PM performance of impulsive individuals. These results have both theoretical and practical significance.

冲动性特质对前瞻记忆的影响。

前瞻记忆（PM）是一种面向未来的记忆，需要提前计划，保持意图，识别线索，及时做出正确的反应。项目管理任务容易受到冲动性等个性特征的影响。Barratt认为冲动性可以分为三个维度：非计划冲动性、注意冲动性和运动冲动性。冲动个体在这三个方面的特点可能会导致他们在PM方面的劣势。本研究探讨冲动性对项目管理的影响。实验1考察了不同注意负荷条件下冲动性对PM的影响。结果表明，冲动组仅在高注意负荷条件下表现出较差；这种效应主要与注意冲动性和运动冲动性的特征有关。实验2探讨不同反应类型下冲动性对PM的影响，反应类型分为延迟反应条件和非延迟反应条件。结果表明，延迟反应消除了冲动性个体在PM表现上的不足。本研究主要探讨冲动性对项目管理的影响因素及其加工机制。并找到了一种有效的方法来提高冲动性个体的PM绩效。研究结果具有一定的理论和现实意义。

期刊介绍： Psychological Research/Psychologische Forschung publishes articles that contribute to a basic understanding of human perception, attention, memory, and action. The Journal is devoted to the dissemination of knowledge based on firm experimental ground, but not to particular approaches or schools of thought. Theoretical and historical papers are welcome to the extent that they serve this general purpose; papers of an applied nature are acceptable if they contribute to basic understanding or serve to bridge the often felt gap between basic and applied research in the field covered by the Journal.
