Results: The results showed that in the time-based tasks, the number of fuel checks and in the event-based tasks, correct recognition number of cues in the treatment and follow-up sessions increased. In event-based tasks, the number of success was high in treatment and follow-up sessions. Th effect size of training prospective memory strategies were between 1.15- 2.7 which was a high effect size.
