A Cross-Cultural Study of Story Memory.

Harris, Richard Jackson; And Others

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v23 n2 p133-47 Jun 1992

Examines some effects of culturally based knowledge on memory for stories about people performing common activities. Results with monocultural U.S. college students (n=176) and Mexican citizens (n=57) suggest that any theory of the effects of script-based knowledge on memory must consider the cultural origin of the knowledge.
