Older adults often present dysfunctions in PM tasks and investigating the nature of their difficulties have critical implication for their independent living. Virtual Week is a computer based program that simulate real week activities. Participants also performed executive functions tasks to investigate which abilities are involved in PM. Virtual Week has shown to be suitable instrument to evaluate PM performance with important implications on assessment and rehabilitation of PM dysfunctions.
前瞻性记忆（PM）是执行未来意图的能力。老年人在执行前瞻性记忆任务时常常出现功能障碍，而探究他们困难的本质对其独立生活具有关键意义。虚拟周是一个基于计算机的程序，它模拟真实一周的活动。参与者还执行了执行功能任务，以探究哪些能力与前瞻性记忆有关。虚拟周已被证明是评估前瞻性记忆表现的合适工具，对前瞻性记忆功能障碍的评估和康复具有重要意义。
