The Effect of Monitoring Behavior and Time Perception on Time-Based
Prospective Memory
Time-based prospective memory refers to the ability to perform a prospective action at a precise moment in the future, either after a specific interval (to turn off the oven in 5 min) or at a specific time (remember your appointment with the doctor at 4 pm). Although the label time-based evokes some involvement of temporal abilities in time-based PM performance, few studies have investigated the contributions of temporal abilities that may be involved in performing time-based PM tasks. It is not only requiring participants to perform an action every 30 seconds or at a specific time (e.g., at 4 pm) that made the time-based PM task time-related. Time perception is expected to be involved in clock-checking behaviour and in the monitoring strategies that participants utilised to get to that target. Examining monitoring strategies, and in particular monitoring frequency, closer to the target time may show the time-related processes involved in time-based PM tasks. In this presentation, I will introduce some models of time perception and some studies that have investigated the link between time perception and time-based prospective memory.
