Abstract
Following the experiment paradigm and employing Chinese double-word phrases, the research investigated the effect of Field dependence-independence (FDI), type of task, and cue characteristics on prospective memory (Prom). The results indicated that: (1) Field-independent subjects performed significantly better than Field-dependent subjects, while there was no distinct difference in their performances of retrospective memory. (2) The performance of the event-based Prom was significantly better than that of the time-based Prom. (3) Performance was facilitated when the cue was unfamiliar and/or distinctive; in addition, the interaction between cue familiarity and cue distinctiveness was very significant.
