Cultural differences on the children's memory scaleCash, Deborah Dyer 15 May 2009 (has links)
Memory is an essential component for learning. Deficits in verbal short-term
memory (STM) and working memory (WM) are thought to hinder language learning,
reading acquisition, and academic achievement. The Children’s Memory Scale (CMS) is
an assessment instrument used to identify memory and learning deficits and strengths in
children ages five through 16. This study investigated the impact of culture and parent
educational level (PEL) on student performance on the Children’s Memory Scale using
the CMS standardization data. The major question addressed was: Will CMS subtest
performance differ significantly between ethnic groups or as a function of PEL?
The results of this study support a relationship between STM and WM
performance and culture. Culture as defined by ethnicity minimally impacted student
subtest performance on the CMS when PEL was taken into account. In contrast, PEL
was significantly associated with student subtest performance within each ethnic group.
Student subtest performance improved with each increase in PEL regardless of ethnicity.
CMS subtest performance of Hispanic and African American students was most affected by PEL; however, no difference occurred in subtest performance by ethnicity or as a
function of PEL for African American and Hispanic students on the Family Pictures
subtest which examines visual and auditory memory processes through recall of
everyday life tasks in meaningful context. Although statistical significance was found
between CMS subtest performance and cultural factors, the effect sizes were mainly in
the small range and variance was not specific to any one subtest. Larger effect sizes were
found on verbal subtests which in previous studies have been found to be most impacted
by quality of schooling and lower PELs. Mean score differences did not exceed one
standard deviation with the exception of one subtest. The results of this study provide a
better understanding of the effect of culture and PEL on memory and learning.

Personal-interactive mental imagery and short-term memory recall for wordsClark, Jeffrey Lynn January 1982 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two imaginal methods on a short-term memory task. A previously unresearched technique, Personalistic (P) mental imagery was combined with Interactive (I) imagery to form Personal-Interactive (P-I) mental imagery. Subjects in the P-I group were instructed to visualize themselves personally involved in an interactive scene of three given nouns. The effects of this group were compared to the effects of I imagery on a short-term memory task requiring free recall of 22 noun triads. A t test analysis found no significant difference between the I and P-I groups on total number of words correctly recalled and total number of failures to generate an image. It was concluded that the added dimension of P to I imagery did not produce greater recall than I imagery independently. It was recommended that P mental imagery be tested independently on a recall task of one word or item as opposed to two or more.
