Effects Of Mood On Processing In Event-Based Prospective Memory, Rachel A. Workman
Effects Of Mood On Processing In Event-Based Prospective Memory, Rachel A. Workman
Theses and Dissertations
Different moods seem to elicit different processing styles (Hunt & McDaniel, 1993, Storbeck & Clore, 2005) and mood has been shown to affect retrospective memory in many ways. The current research investigated how induced mood affects event-based prospective memory (PM). The current study examined mood effects on focal and non-focal PM retrieval. Participants were induced into either a depressive or elated state using Velten statements directly prior to retrieval of the PM task. A main effect of task type was found, such that those in the focal condition completed the task quicker and more accurately than those in the non-focal …
The Effects Of Focality Of Processing And Delay On Event-Based Prospective Memory, Samantha Nicole Petrella
The Effects Of Focality Of Processing And Delay On Event-Based Prospective Memory, Samantha Nicole Petrella
Theses and Dissertations
The current experiment proposes an examination of the effects of focality of processing and delays on event-based prospective memory tasks. Several perspectives regarding the process of remembering to perform an intended action in the future have been proposed by researchers in this area. Smith (2007) proposed the Preparatory Attentional and Memory (PAM) process theory regarding PM. According to the PAM theory, the retrieval of a prospective memory continuously requires resource-demanding preparatory attentional processes, or effortful and deliberate focus. Further, it suggests that successful PM retrieval is never automatic and that attention to the PM task interferes with and compromises ongoing …
