Abstract
This study explores cultural differences in autobiographical memory between adults in India and the United States. Participants provided descriptions of their memory, age at the time, and completed an abridged Twenty Statements Test through Mechanical Turk. Those in India reported memories that exhibited a mix of individualistic and collectivist characteristics.
