The problem of children left in the car, especiallyrelevant for countries with hot climates. In Australia, several thousand children are found every year in cars at risk of dying from hyperthermia. According to the website KidsAndCars.org, in 2021 alone, 23 children died in the United States from being forgotten in a car. David Diamond, professor of psychology at the University of South Florida, in his study showed that the cause of these tragedies is not bad parents, but physiology, systemic errors in our memory.
Diamond says we have a "prospectivememory", the one that stores information about the planned actions. “When we perform routine activities, for example, we drive one of the usual routes, we are controlled by the autopilot. In this situation, only prospective memory can remind you of the need to perform a non-standard action, Diamond points out. - Any distracting event, general fatigue or stress can lead to loss of information in memory. Moreover, some parents have the false impression that they dropped the child off, for example, at the school, although in fact he remained in the car.”
