We explored age differences (6- to 7- vs. 10- to 11-year-olds) in PM depending on the nature of the task and the children’s motivation. Children performed event-based PM tasks (in which the cue was presented during the ongoing activity) and activity-based PM tasks (in which the cue consisted of finishing the ongoing activity). Additionally, the children were assigned to either a reward condition or a no-reward condition. The results showed better performance in event than in activity based tasks, with older children outperforming younger children in both. There was a marginal effect of reward for PM accuracy. These patterns suggest that the cue detection process and children’s motivation play a role in PM performance during development.}, organization = {The current research was completed thanks to financial aid provided by a doctoral research grant (FPU13/03768) to ABC and grants from the Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad Fondos Feder to MTB (PSI2015-65502-C2-1-P) and (PCIN-2015-132).}, publisher = {PLOS}, title = {Event versus activity-based cues and motivation in school-related prospective memory tasks}, doi = {10.1371/ journal.pone.0215845}, author = {Cejudo, Ana B. and McDaniel, Mark A. and Bajo Molina, María Teresa}, }
