Preferred term

Prospective Memory Decision Control model  

Definition

  • A linear ballistic accumulator model of event-based prospective memory that "assumes a race to response selection between PM [prospective memory] and ongoing task decision processes. Each of the ongoing task accumulators and the PM accumulator has its own threshold, which corresponds to the evidence that must be accumulated to make that decision. Upon stimulus presentation, evidence accumulates toward each decision at an accumulation rate, and the first to reach threshold determines the decision made […]. Thus, successful PM hits occur on PM trials where the PM accumulator reaches threshold before the ongoing task accumulators, whereas PM errors occur when the ongoing task accumulators reach threshold before the PM accumulator." (Strickland et al., 2022, p. 1111).
