Previous studies have found that individuals with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) can have difficulty remembering to execute delayed intentions. No obstante, conviene tener muy en cuenta que el momento en el que la persona decide poner en marcha un tipo de procesamiento (u otro) está influido por el tipo de señal. El presente trabajo aboga por que las dos vías de procesamiento (monitorizado y espontáneo) favorecen el éxito en el recuerdo de la acción intencional basada en el evento. Se discute además el papel del lóbulo parietal y el lóbulo temporal medial en las tareas prospectivas.Ĭonclusión. Por otro lado, la red frontoparietal ventral intervendría en los procesos de recuperación automática. De forma paralela, los estudios en neuropsicología experimental han distinguido que la corteza prefrontal anterior y la red frontoparietal dorsal participarían en los procesos de monitorización de la señal. Por otro lado, cuando la señal es no focal, suele haber una tendencia a la monitorización.

Así, cuando la señal es focal, la persona tiende a confiar en los procesos de recuperación espontánea. Tomando como referencia el dinamismo y la flexibilidad de la teoría multiproceso, los principales hallazgos han subrayado que el recuerdo prospectivo está influido, entre otros factores, por el tipo de clave. Diferentes investigaciones provenientes de la neuropsicología experimental intentan dilucidar los procesos neurocognitivos subyacentes a la memoria prospectiva basada en el evento, esto es, las acciones demoradas que tienen lugar en un contexto predeterminado, el cual asumiría el papel de clave externa y, por tanto, contribuiría al éxito en el recuerdo intencional.ĭesarrollo. Introducción: La memoria prospectiva es la capacidad para recordar las acciones que se han de ejecutar en el futuro. These differences were not observed in late bilinguals and monolinguals, suggesting that prospective processing is dependent on the bilingual experience. Specifically, they showed larger differences between the ongoing activity and the prospective task in the N300 and P3b components when performing the more difficult non-focal PM task, indicating that they engaged in monitoring/updating to adapt to the task’s demands. Behavioural and event-related potential (ERP) results indicated that early bilinguals differed from late bilinguals and monolinguals in how they performed the prospective task. We investigated if different bilingual experiences (early/late bilinguals, monolinguals) modulate performance in PM tasks that varied in attentional requirements (focal vs. These processes are also central in predicting incoming language information and guiding language production in bilinguals. Successful retrieval of prospective intentions depends on adequate context monitoring and disengagement from the ongoing task. Prospective memory (PM) allows us to form intentions and execute them in the future.

The ability to remember to perform delayed intentions is referred to as prospective memory. Whereas retrospective memory captures our ability to recollect what has occurred in the past, researchers have begun to recognize the many other adaptive uses to which memory is put, such as enabling individuals to recall at the correct moment an intention that they need to perform (e.g., silencing a cell phone when entering a classroom). Historically, most memory research has focused on retrospective memory, or memory for past events, such as remembering a baseball game you went to with your father as a child.

Forming specific plans, avoiding interruptions, and relying on salient external cues can improve prospective remembering.� The ability to remember is one of the brain’s most important functions, and thus memory research has been at the forefront of psychological science for over 125 years. Conditions that affect these processes (and supporting neural structures), such as substance abuse, neurodegenerative diseases, and aging, are associated with prospective memory impairments. Current theoretical approaches examine whether prospective memory is supported by effortful monitoring (anterior prefrontal cortex), relatively-automatic spontaneous retrieval (hippocampus), or both. Prospective memory is dissociable from other forms of memory by its future focus, the need for planning, and a reliance on self-initiated retrieval. Prospective memory refers to the ability to remember to perform delayed intentions such as remembering to take medication.
