The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of cue-intention association and target frequency on prospective memory performance. Total 230 undergraduates participated in two experiments administered with EBPM paradigm. The association between cue-intention was manipulated within subjects by altering half of target words. The frequency of target presentation was manipulated between subjects. Half of participants were randomly assigned in 3 times presentation condition and the other half of participants were in one time condition. Results of two experiment remained steady. Participants showed higher accurate response rates with strongly associated cue-intention target words than with weak targets. There was a two way interaction between cue-intention association and target frequency. In weakly associated cue-target condition, participants performed better with 3 times target presentation than with just one time presentation. When the association was weak, no difference was observed between frequency conditions. These findings suggest that the repetition of target appearance can simply improve prospective memory performance even though the association between cue-intention was poor formed at encoding phase. Theoretical implications were also discussed with respect to spontaneous retrieval in prospective memory.
