EEG procrastination

The present study applies encephalography (EEG) to examine the neural nature of procrastination.
Concerning the development of the paradigm of modern EEG research, we assume the relationship of procrastination with a separate memory subsystem, which stores information about life events and intentions for future actions. This type of memory has been called prospective memory instead of classical retrospective memory (Ericson, 2017).
In developing this study, we suggest different tasks combining two types of linguistic stimuli: task giving an access to working memory and task activating prospective memory. We suggested two tasks to the subjects simultaneously. Moreover, prospective stimuli included perceptual stimulus (Raskin et al., 2011) and semantic stimulus (West, 2008; Crystal & Wilson, 2015). The current study aims to is to examine the brain activity of individuals with different levels of procrastination. The study applies EEG data analysis with different levels of linguistic stimuli complexity (letter and semantic word), allowing to change the cognitive load and register the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex while performing tasks with two different stimuli: perceptual and semantic.
