Poster Session IV

Keyword: Memory

Abstract: This study explored cultural influences on memory using a novel mnemonic discrimination task. Results revealed Latinos perceive emotional stimuli more intensely than non-Latinos, which directly impacts memory performance, with Latinos showing worse memory. These findings highlight the importance of considering cultural identity in cognitive research for diverse and generalizable assessments.
