Abstract

Prospective memory refers to remembering and putting into action the tasks planned to be done in the future when the time comes. Most tasks performed in daily life require prospective memory. Problems related to prospective memory are particularly noticeable during the aging process and in various clinical disorders. Prospective memory appears to be impaired from the early stages in association with Alzheimer's disease. Prospective memory impairment seen in relation to Alzheimer's disease is different from the impairment seen in the normal aging process. Although prospective memory has become an important problem in the aging process and Alzheimer's disease, it seems that it has not yet gained the place it deserves in the clinical field. This study draws attention to the importance of including prospective memory measurements in the clinical evaluation of people, especially those in the aging process. In the study, the definition of prospective memory, its importance in daily life, the characteristics of prospective memory tasks, how prospective memory is evaluated, and how it changes in relation to aging and Alzheimer's disease are discussed.

Prospektif Bellek ve Yaşlanma

Abstract

Gelecek zamanda yapılması planlanan işlerin, vakti zamanı geldiğinde hatırlanıp eyleme dökümesi prospektif belleği (ileri dönük/yönelik bellek) ifade eder. Günlük hayatta gerçekleştirilen çoğu iş, prospektif belleği gerektirir. Özellikle yaşlanma sürecinde ve çeşitli klinik bozukluklarda prospektif bellekle ilişkili problemler dikkat çekmektedir. Yaşlı nüfusunun arttığı toplumlarda, Alzheimer hastalığı ve diğer demanslar önemli bir sağlık sorunu haline gelmiştir. Alzheimer hastalığı ile ilişkili olarak prospektif bellek becerisinde erken dönemlerden itibaren bozulma yaşandığı görülmektedir. Alzheimer hastalığı ile ilişkili olarak görülen prospektif bellek bozulması, normal yaşlanma sürecinde görülen bozulmadan farklıdır. Prospektif bellek, yaşlanma sürecinde ve Alzheimer hastalığında önemli bir sorun haline gelmesi gelmesine rağmen, klinik alanda, henüz hak ettiği yeri elde edememiş gibi görünmektedir. Bu çalışma özellikle yaşlanma sürecindeki kişilerin klinik değerlendirmesine prospektif bellek ölçümlerinin dahil edilmesinin önemine dikkat çekmektedir. Çalışmada prospektif bellek becerisinin tanımı, günlük hayattaki önemi, prospektif bellek görevlerinin özellikleri, prospektif belleğin nasıl değerlendirildiği, yaşlanma sürecinde ve Alzheimer hastalığı ile ilişkili olarak nasıl bir değişim gösterdiği ele alınmıştır.
