McDaniel, Mark A.; Guynn, Melissa J.; Einstein, Gilles O.; Breneiser, Jennifer – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2004
Several theories of event-based prospective memory were evaluated in 3 experiments. The results depended on the association between the target event and the intended action. For associated target-action pairs (a) preexposure of nontargets did not reduce prospective memory, (b) divided attention did not reduce prospective memory, (c) prospective…

Scullin, Michael K.; McDaniel, Mark A.; Einstein, Gilles O. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
To examine the processes that support prospective remembering, previous research has often examined whether the presence of a prospective memory task slows overall responding on an ongoing task. Although slowed task performance suggests that monitoring is present, this method does not clearly establish whether monitoring is functionally related to…

Einstein, Gilles O.; McDaniel, Mark A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
On the basis of consistently finding significant overall costs to the ongoing task with a single salient target event, Smith, Hunt, McVay, and McConnell (2007) concluded that preparatory attentional processes are required for prospective remembering and that spontaneous retrieval does not occur. In this article, we argue that overall costs are not…
