Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire

The Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (PRMQ) is a 16-item self-report instrument designed to measure subjective memory complaints across two distinct memory domains: prospective memory (remembering to do things in the future) and retrospective memory (remembering past events and information). Developed by Crawford and colleagues at the University of Edinburgh in 2003, the PRMQ provides a brief, validated tool for assessing everyday memory lapses and their impact on functional well-being in both clinical and non-clinical populations.
