The Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (PRMQ) has been reported to have acceptable reliability and a tripartite structure, including a general memory factor and specific Prospective and Retrospective Memory factors. The Taiwanese version of the PRMQ was examined in an adult sample (n = 269, age range: 19-95). The 11-item Taiwanese PRMQ demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.82-0.90) as well as a tripartite structure with one general Episodic Memory factor and one specific Prospective Memory factor. There was no gender effect, but older adults reported better prospective memory performance, and individuals with a higher level of education rated less retrospective memory failure. Preliminary Taiwanese normative data are also presented.
