The impact of process- versus outcome-focused episodic future thinking on everyday prospective memory in individuals with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

= 32 per group). PM performance was assessed using a modified version of the diary task across three online sessions. Overall, individuals with ADHD showed lower everyday PM performance. Across groups, EFT-based encoding improved PM performance relative to standard encoding. Contrary to predictions, outcome-focused EFT led to the strongest PM enhancement, while process-focused EFT yielded moderate benefits only for adults with ADHD. These findings provide first evidence that manipulating EFT focus during intention formation can enhance everyday PM in adults with ADHD, underscoring EFT as a practical strategy for improving daily functioning.
