Detection of the appropriate moment corresponds to the prospective component, while production of the appropriate action corresponds to the retrospective component. Although PM difficulties have been reported in healthy aging and in association with multiple sclerosis (MS), PM has not been examined in older persons with MS (PwMS). The main objective of this study was to investigate whether the decline in PM performance with advancing age is influenced by the presence of MS. This study also aimed to clarify the type of PM impairment (prospective vs. retrospective component in TB and EB conditions) in MS as a function of age.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>A total of 80 participants were recruited and separated into four groups: older PwMS (<i>n</i> = 20), younger PwMS (<i>n</i> = 20), older controls (<i>n</i> = 20), and younger controls (<i>n</i> = 20).
