Forgetting of intentions in demanding situations is rapid.
Demanding work settings often require the deferral of intended actions. In 3 experiments, participants were to withhold a response until they encountered a task change (which occurred 5, 15, or 40 sec later). To approximate highly demanding settings, the experimenters sometimes divided attention during the delay period. During some of the delays the experimenters interrupted the participants wi...
متن کاملThe Role of Forgetting in Undermining Good Intentions
Evaluating others is a fundamental feature of human social interaction--we like those who help more than those who hinder. In the present research, we examined social evaluation of those who not only intentionally performed good and bad actions but also those to whom good things have happened (the lucky) and those to whom bad things have happened (the unlucky). In Experiment 1a, subjects demons...
متن کاملForgetting no-longer-relevant prospective memory intentions is (sometimes) harder with age but easier with forgetting practice.
In young adults, it has been shown that prospective memory (PM) commission errors, the erroneous performance of a previously relevant intention, are less likely for repeatedly performed intentions (than never performed intentions). We examined whether this pattern holds for older adults, for whom impaired response inhibition processes might heighten risk of commission errors for repeatedly perf...
متن کاملAdult counting is resource demanding.
Several recent studies on both the development of counting and working-memory span tasks have provided results that could be interpreted as ruling out any cognitive resource model for counting. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that, even in adults, counting is a demanding task that requires the allocation of cognitive resources. In a first experiment, we asked adults to count ar...
متن کاملRapid Forgetting Prevented by Retrospective Attention Cues
Recent studies have demonstrated that memory performance can be enhanced by a cue which indicates the item most likely to be subsequently probed, even when that cue is delivered seconds after a stimulus array is extinguished. Although such retro-cuing has attracted considerable interest, the mechanisms underlying it remain unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that retro-cues might protect an...
