Abstract | People with schizophrenia often experience difficulties with prospective memory (PM), but few empirical studies have directly compared the effectiveness of different types of reminders in remediating these difficulties. In the present study, two distinct types of reminders were compared to a standard (no reminder) condition in outpatients with schizophrenia (n = 30) and controls (n = 30). Using an adapted version of the well-validated laboratory PM measure, Virtual Week, participants were asked to complete three different conditions (counterbalanced), in which they were (i) provided with access to self-initiated reminders, (ii) provided with experimenter-initiated reminders, and (iii) completed a standard (no-reminder) condition. Both groups benefited from the provision of reminders, but self-initiated reminders were the most beneficial, particularly for time-based tasks. These data align with a broader literature that shows PM can be enhanced by the use of reminders. However, it extends this literature in an important way by showing that these benefits are equivalent for people with schizophrenia, and may be greatest where access to reminders is self-initiated. The implications of these data for the development of rehabilitative interventions are discussed. |
