Tasks vary in the type of cue (i.e., an event cue or a time cue), the length of time in between the assignment of the cue and when it is expected to be performed (i.e., 2 min or 15 min), and the type of response required of the individual (i.e., verbal or action). Individuals work on an ongoing task – a word search puzzle – while they remember to complete assigned tasks.
Following the administration of the eight tasks, a series of multiple choice recognition items are administered that assess the individual’s knowledge of the intentions that were to be completed. Additionally, the MIST contains a delayed prospective memory task which requires an intention to be...
