Abstract

The encoding and retrieval of autobiographical memory rely extensively on linguistic cues. Previous researches suggested the critical relationship between memory and language. This study with three experiments seeks to compare the quantitative differences in visual imagery, vividness, and coherence between native English and Mandarin speakers. Based on the statistical results of this study, native Mandarin speakers demonstrate higher accuracy in the task of recalling visual imagery information in memory, with P <. 01. More data needs to be collected to draw a sound conclusion on the differences in vividness and coherence in the two language groups.
