AUTOMATED TECHNIQUES FOR TESTING PROSPECTIVE MEMORY

摘要

Embodiments described herein relate to automated digital prospective memory tests. In various embodiments, working memory instructions may be provided (402) that prompt a subject to perform working memory task(s). Additional instruction(s) may also be provided (404) prompting the subject to perform prospective memory task(s). Each additional instruction may prompt the subject to perform a respective prospective memory task after a predetermined time interval. During the predetermined time interval, the subject's performance of the working memory task(s) may be monitored (406) to determine a measure of engagement. An actual time interval between provision of a given additional instruction and performance of the prospective memory task prompted by the given additional instruction may be determined (408). If the measure of engagement satisfies a criterion, a certified prospective memory measure of the subject, calculated based at least in part on the actual time interval, may be provided (412).
