정상적 노화에 있어서 단서속성과 과제유형이 미래기억수행에 미치는 영향

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was to investigate the effects of memory aids, cue aspects and task types on prospective memory in normal aging. Experiment 1 was to confirm the position that distinctive target events are effective in memory performances, and was to examine the nature of interaction between aspects of target events and age groups. The results showed reliable interaction effects between the two. That is, in high distinctiveness condition older participants performed worse than younger participants. For younger participants, no reliable differences were found between high-distinctiveness condition and medium-distinctiveness condition. But in high distinctiveness condition(high+medium), their performance was better when compared to low-distinctiveness condition. The purpose of experiment 2 was to identify whether or not differences in prospective memory performances exist between different memory task types, and to verify if age-related differences in time-based prospective memory task is greater than in event-based prospective memory task because the former tend to lead to a higher level of self-initiated retrieval. Experiment 2 showed age-related differences, but did not reveal task type related differences.
