Let $R$ be a commutative ring. Let $M$ respectively $A$ denote a Noetherian respectively Artinian $R$-module, and $\mathfrak{a}$ a finitely generated ideal of $R$. The main result of this note is that the sequence of sets $(\mathrm{Att}_R\mathrm{Tor}_1^R((R/\mathfrak{a}^{n}),A))_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is ultimately constant. As a consequence, whenever $R$ is Noetherian, we show that $\mathrm{Ass}_R\mathrm{Ext}_R^1((R/\mathfrak{a}^{n}),M)$ is ultimately constant for large $n$, which is an affirmative answer to the question that was posed by Melkersson and Schenzel in the case $i=1$.
