What is prospective memory (PM)? • Memory for actions to be performed in the future(Einstein & McDaniel, 1990) • 2 components • Prospective (ProCom) ○ Retrospective (RetCom) • 2 kinds • Event-based (EBPM) ○ Time-based (TBPM) ?

Multiple stages in PM Prospective component Retrospective component + Time-based (self-initiated) Event-based (external cue) Intention Formation Intention Retention Take cookies out of the oven Intention Initiation Intention Execution (Gonneaud, Eustache & Desgranges, 2009) Output monitoring
Why evaluate PM? Long neglected… growing number of studies since 2000 Special Issues Applied Cognitive Psychology - 2000 International Journal of Psychology - 2003 Brain Impraiment – 2009 Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology – 2011 Zeitschrift für Psychologie / Journal of Psychology – 2011 Neuropsychologia – 2011 … but still many unresolved questions Altered in many population Healthy aging … under specific conditions( McDaniel & Einstein ,2011) Transient Global Amnesia(Hainselin et al, 2011) Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer Disease (Costa et al. 2010; 2011; 2012; Huppert & Bearsdall 1993) Dementia(Livner et al., 2009 ; Will et al., 2009) Traumatic Brain Injury(Cheng et al., 2008 ; Flemming et al., 2008 ) Parkinson Disease(Costa et al., 2008 ; Kliegel et al., 2011) Multiple Sclerosis(Rendell et al. 2007; 2012) HIV (Carey et al., 2006) Alcohol (Heffernan, 2008 ; Leitz et al., 2009) Schizophrenia(Altgassen et al., 2008 ; Wang et al., 2008) Autism(Altgassen et al., 2009 ; Brandimonte et al., 2011) Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder(Cuttler & Graf, 2007) Subject of complaints in those populations
Classical techniques to assess PM Questionnaires Subjective complaints Naturalistic settings Call the experimenter everyday during 7 days, send a postcard,… Laboratory evaluation(Einstein et McDaniel, 1990) Kvavilashvili et al., 2008; from Einstein & McDaniel, 1990
Methodological issue Is PM similar in naturalistic and laboratory settings ? Naturalistic-settings lack of experimental control use of external aids, differences in ongoing activities between subjects… Laboratory paradigms lack of ecological validity “press y-key when you will see the word president” is far from plan and remember going to an appointment or taking medication The Age Prospective Memory Paradox Young < Older Young > Older Virtual Reality (VR) would be particularly relevantto assess such kind of complex function
Theoretical issueThe time-based/event-based distinction > • Dissociation EBPM – TBPM • TBPM harder than EBPM • TBPM requires more self-initiated processes (Craik 1986) • EBPM -> performance facilitated by strong Cue-Action association • Role of binding abilities(Gonneaud, Kalpouzos et al. 2011) • Benefice of implementing intention (higher level of planning;Gollwitzer; 1999) • Better performance when cue and action are semantically related(McDaniel et al. 2004) • TBPM -> no such link
Objective of this study / > > • Methodological purpose: • Use a methodology that meets the criteria of ecological validityand allows experimental control • Assess the validity of our material for future use • Theoretical purpose: • 3 experimental conditions • Link-EBPM - EBPM intention with a strong link between ProCom&RetCom • noLink-EBPM - EBPM intention with a weak link between ProCom&RetCom • TBPM - TBPM intention (a weak link between ProCom&RetCom) • Complementary neuropsychological assessment
METHOD - Virtual environment • Paris Descartes Memory and Cognition Lab software • Built with Virtools Dev 3.0 software • Urban environment
METHOD - Device • Virtual town • Projected on a 180x240 cm widescreen • Driving conditions • a real steering wheel • two pedals • Auditory immersion • city noise (car, people…) • Clock for TBPM condition
METHOD – PM assessment Was this element in the city? ? ? ? Buy the TV program at the news kiosk • Familiarisation with the device • Simple city (ordinary buildings, trees, interactive traffic lights) • Learning stage of the city • Immersion • Recognition task • Encoding of9 intentions • 3 Link-EBPM - buy stamp booklet at the post office • 3 noLink-EBPM - buy eyeglasses at the fountain • 3 TBPM - take medication after 4 minutes • Storage of intentions10 minutes filled questionnaires • Retrieval of intentions in the city – PM taskScored ProCom and RetCom in each condition
METHOD – Complementary evaluation & Population • Complementary evaluation • Retrospective memory – Recall of a 16-word list (accuracy /16) • Executive function • Shifting – TMTB (time in ms) • Inhibition – Stroop (time in ms) • Updating – Running span (accuracy /16) • Working memory • Dual task – Baddeley (% of cost in dual condition) • Binding – multimodal integration task (accuracy /20) • Planning – Zoo map Test (sequencing score) • Time Estimation (% of deviation relative to real duration) • Metamemory • Memory complaints -PRMQ (score /40) • Population • 35 healthy young adults (18 to 40 ; 12 women / 23 men) • French native speakers / no neurological or psychiatric antecedent / >7 years of schooling
Results Correlations between PM scores and the other cognitive functions. Condition effect * * Correct recall (%) Condition Significant effect of condition → Link-EBPM > NoLink-EBPM = TBPM → Difference in RetCom recall only Different processes underlie EBPM and TBPM, even controlling the strength of the ProCom-RetCom link Difficulties in TBPM could be due to a lack of link between ProCom and RetCom
First results on healthy agingGet around the age-prospective memory paradox? Condition effect in young adults Condition effect in older adults * * * * Correct recall (%) Correct recall (%) Condition Condition → PM deficit in aging for each PM score → no-Link-EBPM : correct detection of ProCom do not elicit reflexive retrieval of RetCom → Further analyses ongoing
Conclusions • Validity of virtual reality to assess PM • Even in young healthy population • Effect of the strength of the relationship Cue-Action → Strong association facilitates the retrieval of the action (RetCom) → … but can’t fully account for the EBPM/TBPM dissociation • Perspective for future work • Assessment and rehabilitation of patients • Do patients demonstrate such effect ? • Training in implementation intention / planning using VR /
