| dc.description.abstract | On the basis of recent prospective memory research, the present study was conducted to examine whether executive functions and age are predictive of prospective memory performance. For that purpose, both executive functions as well as prospective memory performance were assessed. In total, 26 subjects participated. The target group were Dutch citizens of different ages and socio-economic backgrounds. The study was divided into two parts in which executive functions and prospective memory performance were tested respectively. The results of the stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that none of the proposed factors were significant predictors of prospective memory performance. This was the case both in a model containing executive functions only as well as in another one with age as an additional predictor. The lack of predictive ability was mainly attributed to methodological limitations. Further implications are discussed.
