The Effect of Implementation Intentions on Prospective Memory Under Different Cognitive Load

Abstract

Abstract: Using N-back task paradigm as ongoing experiment in Experiment 1, we adapted 3 (encoding styles: standard, implementation intentions, retrieval practice)×2 (cognitive load: high and low) mixed design to investigate the effect of encoding style and cognitive load on the event-based prospective memory performance. The results showed that the retrieval practice encoding was better than implementation intentions encoding under high cognitive load conditions. In Experiment 2, using 2(encoding styles: implementation intentions determination form, retrieval practice)×2(cognitive load: high and low) mixed design, and through the paper and pencil test to enhance the degree of connection between PM intention with intented action, the results replicated the central finding of Experiment 1.The results revealed that the effect of implementation intentions encoding on the prospective was limited by the cognitive load.

Key words: encoding style, cognitive load, implementation intention, retrieval practice, prospective memory

摘要： 实验一采用3（编码方式：标准、执行意向、提取练习）×2（认知负荷：高、低）混合实验设计，考察编码方式和认知负荷对基于事件的前瞻记忆的影响。结果表明在高认知负荷条件下，提取练习编码效果好于执行意向编码。实验二采用2（编码方式：执行意向确定形成、提取练习）×2（认知负荷：高、低）混合实验设计，并通过之后的纸笔测验加强联结程度，结果和实验一相同。结果表明执行意向编码对前瞻记忆的影响受认知负荷的限制。
