One way that prospective memory is different from retrospective memory lies in the nature of the tasks and the timing of recall. Prospective memory involves remembering to perform a planned action or recall a planned intention at some point in the future. It is future-oriented and requires one to remember to do something at a specific time or when a certain event occurs, such as taking medication at lunchtime or calling a friend when you get home. On the other hand, retrospective memory refers to the ability to remember information from the past. It involves recalling events, experiences, and information that have already occurred or been learned, such as remembering the details of a conversation you had last week or the facts you studied for a history test. In summary, the key difference is that prospective memory is about remembering to carry out intentions in the future, while retrospective memory is about recalling information from the past.

A) Prospective memory requires retrospective memory.
B) Retrospective memory requires prospective memory.
C) They are mutually interdependent.
D) They are completely independent.
