OVERVIEW Behavioural data reveal an inverted U-shaped function in the efficiency of prospective memory from childhood to young adulthood to later adulthood. However, prior research has not directly compared processes contributing to age-related variation in prospective memory across the lifespan, hence it is unclear whether the same factors explain the 'rise and fall' of prospective remembering...

We investigated neural and behavioral effects of three understudied VAS characteristics (number of subcategorization options, number of thematic options and ove...
