The interplay of cognitive abilities that constitute the process of 'remembering to remember' is referred to as prospective memory. Prospective memory is an essential ability to meet everyday life challenges across the life span, constitutes a key element of autonomy and independence and is especially important in old age with increasing social and health-related prospective memory demands. The present paper first presents major findings from the current state of the art in research on age effects in prospective memory. In a second part, it presents four focus areas for future research outlining possible conceptual, methodological, and neuroscientific advancements.
构成“记得去记起”这一过程的认知能力之间的相互作用被称为前瞻性记忆。前瞻性记忆是一种在整个生命周期中应对日常生活挑战的基本能力，是自主性和独立性的关键要素，并且在老年时期尤其重要，因为与社会和健康相关的前瞻性记忆需求日益增加。本文首先介绍了前瞻性记忆中年龄效应研究的当前最新研究成果。在第二部分中，它提出了四个未来研究的重点领域，概述了可能的概念、方法和神经科学方面的进展。
