Scenario II
Scenario II is based on and presents fabricated data consistent with the following study:
MacDonald, S., Uesiliana, K., & Hayne, H. (2000) . Cross-cultural and gender differences in childhood amnesia. Memory, 8(6) , 365-376. doi:10.1080/09658210050156822
MacDonald and colleagues (2000) investigated cultural and gender influences on the age and quality of first childhood memories. Specifically, they interviewed males and females from three cultures-Asian, Pakeha, and Maori-and asked them to describe their earliest childhood memory in as much detail as possible. The researchers recorded the age of the earliest memory and also quantified the total amount of information given in the memory description. Figure 1.2A shows the number of participants reporting their first memory as a function of age not separated by gender or culture. Figure 1.2B shows the mean age of the first memory as a function of gender and culture, and Figure 1.2C shows the mean total information present in that memory as a function of gender and culture.
Figure 1.2A (left) , Figure 1.2B (middle) , and 1.2C (right)
-(Scenario II) A psychologist is interested in whether cultural factors affect the composition of memories. She instructs participants to deconstruct each piece of information from their earliest memory into its visual and auditory elemental parts, such as perceptions of brightness and loudness. This research program is most consistent with that developed by:

• A)William James.
• B)Wilhelm Wundt.
• C)B. F. Skinner.
• D)Jean Piaget.
