Zusammenfassung: | <jats:p> Three experiments are conducted with German and Chinese student subjects to investigate short-term memory performance with regard to different kinds of stimulus material. Experiment 1 demonstrates that the Chinese subjects’ superior memory span performance cannot be traced back to existing differences in intelligence (assessed with Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices Test). In Experiment 2 a high correlation is found between the oral reproduction time of test items in the two languages and the resulting memory span of subjects. The results of Experiment 3 show that the Chinese subjects’ superiority in performance decreases and disappears completely where it is difficult to find verbal descriptions for the items to be memorized. These findings are discussed within the framework of Baddeley’s (1990) working memory model and cross-cultural intelligence research. </jats:p> |
