Prospective memory in the developmental age: a systematic review to synthesize the evaluation tools and the main cognitive functions involved.

Prospective memory (PM) is the ability to remember and realize one's intentions in the future; therefore, it is crucial for the daily functioning of children and adolescents and their ability to become independent from caregivers. PM errors can have repercussions during childhood, such as influencing school performance and social relationships. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize studies analysing PM in children and adolescents (age range: 0-16 years) following PRISMA guidelines.
