“…Analysis showed more correct responses and fewer errors on the recognition test in the extraverts than in the introverts. A similar conclusion was made by research using paired‐associates tasks (Berlyne & Carey, 1968; Eysenck, 1975; Howarth, 1969; Howarth & Eysenck, 1968; Libkuman, Griffith, Wines, Dickel & Doty, 1998; Purohit, 1966). For instance, Berlyne and Carey (1968) exposed subjects to word‐pairs.…”

“…Our findings extend previous research on the tendency of extraverts to demonstrate high item‐memory (Jensen, 1962; McLaughlin & Kary, 1972; Schwartz, 1975), high associative‐memory (Berlyne & Carey, 1968; Eysenck, 1975; Howarth, 1969; Howarth & Eysenck, 1968; Libkuman et al ., 1998; Purohit, 1966), high working memory (Lieberman, 2000), and high prospective memory (Heffernan & Ling, 2001). Although the existing literature has emphasized the relationship between extraversion and memory, little effort has been made to evaluate memory for social stimuli in extraverts.…”

“…To summarize, while previous research has emphasized high memory in extraverts (Berlyne & Carey, 1968; Eysenck, 1975; Howarth, 1969; Howarth & Eysenck, 1968; Libkuman et al ., 1998; Purohit, 1966), it has not assessed the relationship between extraversion and the ability to remember who told us a piece of information (i.e., source memory) or the ability to remember to whom we told an information (i.e., destination memory). Because source memory and destination memory are closely linked with social processing (El Haj & Miller, 2017), and because extraverts are by nature directed toward social processing (Eysenck, 1982), we expected significant positive correlations between extraversion and performances on source and destination memory, that is,, the more participants describe themselves as extraverts, the higher their source and destination memory.…”

We evaluated relationship between personality and memory for social interactions. More specifically, we investigated the relationship between extraversion and the ability to remember who told us some information (i.e., source memory) and the ability to remember to whom we told that information (i.e., destination memory). On a source memory task, participants received information from pictures of celebrities; a subsequent recognition test required them to identify the celebrities from whom they had received that information. On a destination memory task, participants were invited to tell information to celebrities; a later recognition task instructed them to identify the celebrity to whom they had previously told that information. Besides the assessment of source and destination memory, participants answered a questionnaire regarding extraversion. Results demonstrated significant positive correlation between extraversion and source memory, as well as significant positive correlation between extraversion and destination memory. In other words, the more participants described themselves as extraverts, the higher their source and destination memory. During social communications (e.g., in a conversation), extraverts may demonstrate high source and destination memory as these individuals typically value social communication, public sharing, and processing of social information.

“…Several studies have examined this hypothesis (Allsopp & H. J. Eysenck, 1974, 197S;Bone, 1971; M. W. Eysenck, in press-b;Howarth, 1969aHowarth, , 1969bJensen, 1964; McLaughlin & H. J. Eysenck, 1967;Purohit, 1966;Shanmugan & Santhanam, 1964;Siegman, 1957).…”

“…Jensen concluded as follows: "Extraversion seems to correlate mainly with resistance to response competition" (p. 97). Purohit (1966) required his subjects to learn a paired-associate list comprising easy and difficult pairs. The subjects were run under conditions of either stress, in which they were required to anticipate the response within 2 seconds of the presentation of the stimulus, or nonstress, in which no time limit was imposed.…”
