The development of prospective memory in young schoolchildren: The impact of ongoing task absorption, cue salience, and cue centrality.

Highlights: [•] 9- and 10-year-olds outperformed 6- to 7-year-olds in event-based prospective memory. [•] Varying cue centrality, age effects only emerged with cues outside the center of attention. [•] Findings suggest developing executive control as cognitive mechanism. [•] Alternative conceptual explications are deeper encoding or changes in meta-memory. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
