Better Late Than Never: Marijuana Use and Prospective Memory (original) (raw)

2007

Abstract

Previous research suggests that marijuana use is associated with impairments in retrospective memory. Ours is the first study to examine the relationship between marijuana use and prospective memory, the ability to remember plans and intentions. Over 100 undergraduate students completed a survey that assessed marijuana use and prospective memory. Marijuana use was found to be associated with failures on prospective memory tasks that involve internal cues (e.g., I forget what I want to say in the middle of a sentence, I forget what I came in a room to get); it was also related to problems with punctuality.
