“…Consequently, they posit that individuals with the individualistic cultural background are more likely to encode and recall more focal details, whereas those with a collectivistic background are more likely to encode and recall more contextual details. The holisticanalytic cognition proposal has been a dominant framework in the study of culture and memory (Gutchess & Sekuler, 2019). Indeed previous research has provided evidence consistent with the holistic-analytic cognitive styles in the respective cultures (Huang & Park, 2013;Kitayama et al, 2003;.…”

“…Markus and Kitayama (1991) developed a comprehensive theory describing this phenomenon presented in their seminal paper about how culture shapes self-construal. Self-construal theory is currently the dominant framework for studying culture and memory (Gutchess & Sekuler, 2019). Depending on the social context an individual is socialised, the individual develops either an independent or an interdependent construal of the self (Markus & Kitayama, 1991;.…”

“…The independent-interdependent self-construal has implications for cultural differences in cognitive processes (Gutchess & Sekuler, 2019;Kurman, 2010;Wang, 2021). For example, it has been proposed individuals with independent self-construal develop an analytic perception (Norenzayan & Nisbett, 2000).…”

“…Participants were later shown another square frame that was either of the same size or different size to the original frame, in which they were requested to complete an absolute and a relative task, respectively. For the absolute task, participants were asked to draw a line in the new square (i.e., the square ( Gutchess & Sekuler, 2019;Istomin et al, 2014). Essentially, it has been shown in previous work that whereas accounts of events by people from individualistic cultures are not context-dependent, accounts by those from collectivistic cultures are context-dependent (Amer et al, 2017;Boduroglu, Priti, & Nisbett, 2009;Miyamoto et al, 2006).…”

“…Behaviour and psychological processes are situated within a cultural context. A cultural dimension particularly influential in research in crosscultural cognition is the individualist-collectivism cultural dimension (Gutchess & Sekuler, 2019;Wang 2021). Individualism is a cultural orientation where the individual is viewed as separated from the social context (Ghosh, 2011;Hofstede, 2001).…”

Previous research has revealed that people from Western cultures tend to remember more details of objects and events in autobiographical memory compared to people from Eastern cultures. The present experiments tested whether differences in pattern separation-the process by which new, but potentially similar, exemplars are discriminated from previously encountered exemplars-account for these cultural difference in object memory. In two experiments, we investigated the extent to which North Americans and East Asians differ in pattern separation and whether these effects are related to cultural values. We also examined the role of response bias. These results revealed it is unlikely that pattern separation is the sole mechanism underlying cross-cultural memory specificity differences, as broader memory mechanisms, such as differences in memory resolution for previously encoded items, could account for the differences observed between groups.
