Cultural differences in LTM
- Mary Mullen 1994
- 700 Caucasian and Asian or
Asian-American undergraduates
- Pps describe their earliest memories
(self-report study)
- Asian and Asian American students'
memories happened six months later than
the Caucasian students memories
- The next year Mullen repeated the
study with Caucasian Americans and
Native Koreans
- She found an even bigger difference:
nearly sixteen months separated the two.
- 700 Caucasian and Asian or
Asian-American undergraduates
- Hayne 2002
- Asian adults first memories were later
than Caucasians'
- 57 months as compared with 42
months
- But she also found that the Maori adults'
memories reached even further back, to
32 months.
- As children we encode our memory of
events as we talk over those events with
the adults in our life.
- The more those adults encourage us to spin
an elaborate tale, the more likely we are to
remember details about the event later.
- Asian adults first memories were later
than Caucasians'
