This study examined the effects of ethnicity on short term recognition memory for two types of visual stimuli. Experimental hypotheses were evaluated by contrasting the memory performance of two ethnic groups. One group was composed of 22 Mandarin speaking Chinese women, aged 50 to 65 years, who were born in the People's Republic of China or Taiwan, and who were currently living in the United States. The other group consisted of 22 English speaking Caucasian women, aged 50 to 65 years, who had been born in and were living in the United States.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study examined the effects of ethnicity on short term recognition memory for two types of visual stimuli. Experimental hypotheses were evaluated by contrasting the memory performance of two ethnic groups. One group was composed of 22 Mandarin speaking Chinese women, aged 50 to 65 years, who were born in the People's Republic of China or Taiwan, and who were currently living in the United States. The other group consisted of 22 English speaking Caucasian women, aged 50 to 65 years, who had been born in and were living in the United States.
520 $a Based on previous evidence of "the other race effect" in which it has been found that individuals demonstrate superior recognition memory for own race faces in comparison to other race faces, it was hypothesized that the Caucasian women's recognition memory for Caucasian faces would be superior, relative to the Chinese women's recognition memory for Caucasian faces. To measure this the Recognition Memory Test for Faces (RMF) (Warrington, 1984) was used. It was also hypothesized that performance between the two ethnic groups would not be significantly different in a recognition memory test presumed to be a culturally reduced task. The measure used to examine this hypothesis involved geometric designs and was the Benton Visual Retention Test: Multiple Choice Form (MCBVRT) (Benton, Hamsher, & Stone, 1977).
520 $a Results confirmed both hypotheses. The Caucasian women performed significantly better than the Chinese women on the RMF. A nonsignificant difference was observed between the two ethnic groups on the MCBVRT.
520 $a The finding, on the RMF data, was consistent with previous evidence supporting the "other race effect" and extended prior research to Chinese women, an ethnic group not previously studied.
520 $a For the Chinese women a significant correlation was found between scores on RMF and age, scores on RMF and MCBVRT, scores on MCBVRT and social status, and age and education. These significant correlations did not exist for the Caucasian women.
