This paper reviews previous studies of prospective memory (PM) in older adults to investigate the factors associated with PM performance. Many studies have suggested that the use of external aids is effective at improving PM performance. Furthermore, PM performance has been associated with cognitive functions (working memory, retrospective memory, etc.) in previous studies. We need to subdivide the process of PM into smaller parts to further investigate its mechanism.
