Prospective memory (PM) is the ability to remember to carry out an intention in the future. PM is particularly impaired in Korsakoff syndrome (KS). We investigated the benefit of a smartwatch and smartphone compared to no aid in supporting time accuracy and PM task performance in KS. Time accuracy was improved with a smartwatch compared to the other conditions. Furthermore, the smartwatch and phone conditions were more effective than no aid in assisting memory for task content. Together these results suggest that using an external memory aid is beneficial for successful PM in KS.
前瞻性记忆（PM）是指记住在未来执行某项意图的能力。在柯萨科夫综合征（KS）中，前瞻性记忆尤其受损。我们研究了与不使用辅助工具相比，智能手表和智能手机在支持柯萨科夫综合征患者的时间准确性和前瞻性记忆任务表现方面的益处。与其他条件相比，使用智能手表可提高时间准确性。此外，在帮助记忆任务内容方面，智能手表和手机条件比不使用辅助工具更有效。这些结果共同表明，使用外部记忆辅助工具对柯萨科夫综合征患者成功完成前瞻性记忆有益。
