dc.description.abstractProspective memory performance was investigated in 66 children between the ages of 6 and 12. A developmental progression was found for both time-based and event-based prospective memory. In addition, a difference in performance was found, with the time-based prospective memory task being more difficult than the event-based task. Large order effects were observed on the prospective memory tasks, leading to difficulties in interpretation, and a reduction in sample size. However, the relationship of time-based prospective memory and working memory approached significance. Event-based prospective memory performance was related to performance on a direct retrospective memory task. An implicit memory task was not related to any of the other experimental measures. The relationship of these findings to the existing literature is examined. The problems with the selected tasks are discussed, and suggestions for future studies are proposed.
