Note: bold indicates p≤.01. PMQ = Prospective Memory Questionnaire; PRMQ = Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire; TCPMQ = Time−Cued Prospective Memory Questionnaire. Higher scores on the prospective memory questionnaires indicate more prospective memory failures or greater use of memory aiding strategies. Higher scores on the cannabis consumption and problems with use variables indicate greater cannabis consumption and more problems associated with cannabis use, respectively. Higher scores on the prospective memory tests indicate better prospective memory test performance.
