Prospective Initiation Memory Processes

Measured in humans

Holding an intention slows the ongoing task (a lexical decision task), and participants who slowed more caught more cues, a cost not seen when the embedded task was a retrospective memory task, showing that initiating a delayed intention can draw on limited capacity
