The age prospective memory paradox within the same sample in time-based and event-based tasks
Niedzwienska, Agnieszka; Barzykowski, Krystian (2012-01)The present research investigated the age prospective memory (PM) paradox by testing the performance of the same participants on laboratory and naturalistic PM tasks. Younger, middle-aged, and older adults performed three ... -
Age-related differences in everyday prospective memory tasks : The role of planning and personal importance
Niedzwienska, Agnieszka; Janik, Beata; Jarczyńska, Aleksandra (2013-12)The aim of the present studies was to investigate whether age-related improvement found in naturalistic but experimenter-given prospective memory (PM) tasks can be generalized to real-life intentions. In Study 1, younger, ... -
Deficits in Spontaneous Cognition as an Early Marker of Alzheimer’s Disease
Kvavilashvili, Lia; Niedzwienska, Agnieszka; Gilbert, Sam; Markostamou, Ioanna (2020-04)In the absence of a pharmacological cure, finding the most sensitive early cognitive markers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is becoming increasingly important. In this article we review evidence showing that brain mechanisms ... -
Everyday Memory Failures in Older Adults with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment
Niedzwienska, Agnieszka; Kvavilashvili, Lia (2019-07-02)Identifying people with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), who are at increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, is important for improving early disease management and care. Although self- or informant-reported ... -
A naturalistic study of prospective memory in preschoolers : The role of task interruption and motivation
Ślusarczyk, Elzbieta; Niedzwienska, Agnieszka (2013-07-01)We conducted two naturalistic experiments to investigate preschoolers' development of event-based prospective memory (PM) and to examine the effects of motivation and interruption of an ongoing task. Children aged 2-6 years ... -
Only social feedback reduces age-related prospective memory deficits in 'Virtual Week'
Niedzwienska, Agnieszka; Rendell, Peter G.; Barzykowski, Krystian; Leszczyńska, Alicja (2014-05)Background: Prospective memory, or remembering to do things in the future, is crucial for independent living in old age. Although there is evidence of substantial age-related deficits in memory for intentions, older adults ... -
Reduced mind-wandering in Mild Cognitive Impairment: Testing the spontaneous retrieval deficit hypothesis
Niedzwienska, Agnieszka; Kvavilashvili, Lia (2018-09-01)Objective: Research on early cognitive markers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is primarily focused on declarative episodic memory tests that involve deliberate and effortful/strategic processes at retrieval. The present study ... -
The role of inhibitory control and ADHD symptoms in the occurrence of involuntary thoughts about the past and future: An individual differences study
Barzykowski, Krystian; Hajdas, Sabina; Radel, Remi; Niedzwienska, Agnieszka; Kvavilashvili, Lia (2021-10-01)The present study focused on involuntary thoughts about personal past events (i.e., involuntary autobiographical memories; IAMs), and involuntary thoughts about future events and plans (i.e., involuntary future thoughts; ... -
The role of rehearsals in self-generated prospective memory tasks
Szarras, Kaja; Niedzwienska, Agnieszka (2011-10-01)In order to inquire into the nature of retrieval in prospective memory in a naturalistic context, we investigated the number and circumstances of rehearsals of different kinds of intentions to be pursued during a single ... -
Spontaneous retrieval deficits in amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment: : A case of focal event-based prospective memory
Niedzwienska, Agnieszka; Kvavilashvili, Lia; Ashaye, Kunle; Neckar, Jacek (2017-10-31)Objective: Research on early cognitive markers of Alzheimer’s disease is primarily focused on retrospective recall (of word lists, pairs of items, stories) and executive functions. However, research shows that people with ... -
Why are we not flooded by involuntary thoughts about the past and future? Testing the cognitive inhibition dependency hypothesis
Barzykowski, Krystian; Radel, Remi; Niedzwienska, Agnieszka; Kvavilashvili, Lia (2019-06-01)In everyday life, involuntary thoughts about future plans and events occur as often as involuntary thoughts about the past. However, compared to involuntary autobiographical memories (IAMs), such episodic involuntary future ...
