Deactivation of Prospective Memory Intentions - Task Status and Similarity

Poster Session II

Keyword: Memory

Abstract: Encoding a secondary intention may help deactivation of non-relevant prospective memory intentions. But this is a function of task status, whether intention was suspended or completed and similarity between tasks. Completed intentions benefit from retroactive interference of new intention formation, especially if the new intention is increasingly dissimilar.
