More than half of all everyday memory problems concern the delayed
execution of an intended action, e.g. forgetting to give someone a
call. This type of memory task has been labelled prospective memory
and interest in this rather new field of cognitive psychology is
growing. There are at least three reasons why research in
prospective remembering is highly relevant. Firstly, prospective
memory is of great relevance for everyday life. Secondly,
prospective memory is of enormous clinical relevance. Thirdly,
prospective memory research is of tremendous theoretical relevance.
The six research papers in this special issue are paradigmatic
examples of current approaches in this new and relevant field of
cognitive psychology. Specifically, the question of to what extent
is prospective memory similar to and to what extent is it different
from the traditional topic of memory research is discussed. In
addressing this question, concepts of cognitive functioning in
general are being advanced. In addition, the mechanisms of
neuropsychological impairments in prospective remembering as well
as possible strategies of rehabilitation are investigated. Finally,
a third focus is on the life-span development of prospective
remembering. Investigating age-effects and possible underlying
mechanisms, the influence of executive functioning, the specific
nature of memory for intentions, and the role of motivational
aspects are examined. Overall, this special issue convenes experts
from several psychological disciplines in a collaborative effort to
explore why humans so frequently have difficulties actually
executing intentions that have been previously formed.
