The essay question relates to the counterintuitive finding reported in the literature on the
Age-Prospective Memory Paradox, which shows that while younger adults outperform
older adults in most laboratory tasks of prospective memory, older adults perform as well
as or even better than younger adults in studies conducted outside the laboratory with
naturalistic prospective memory tasks (first summarised in the meta-analyses by Henry et
al., 2004).
