Description
Johanna Hartung and Gizem Hueluer study, in a 2024 paper, everyday memory lapses as they happen, rather than as people later remember them. Three hundred twenty-five adults, from students to the mid-thirties, answered phone prompts three times a day for ten days. Each check-in asked about lapses, current activity, mood, and a quick working memory task. A one-off questionnaire at the end captured how lapse-prone each person believed they were.
People who rated themselves as lapse-prone did report more lapses in the moment checks too. Yet real-time lapse counts had no link to working memory scores, while the after-the-fact counts did. Lapses clustered on busy, low-mood occasions. The authors conclude that everyday lapses may signal a cognitively full life more than a failing memory, a distinction that matters for how such complaints are judged.
