Abstract
Habitual physical activity has been shown to improve memory performance, yet investigations into its effects concerning memory interference remain limited. Additionally, minimal research has evaluated the association between habitual physical activity behaviors occurring in different contexts (e.g., walking, basketball, swimming) and memory. Based on these gaps in the literature, the present set of six experiments evaluated the association between contextually-different physical activity behaviors (e.g., individual physical activities, physical activities performed in social settings) and memory interference among young adult samples from America and Germany. Across six experiments, we reliably demonstrated that Germans exhibited greater memory performance than Americans. We also reliably demonstrated that contextually-different physical activities are not associated with memory performance or attenuated memory interference.
期刊介绍：
Psychological Research/Psychologische Forschung publishes articles that contribute to a basic understanding of human perception, attention, memory, and action. The Journal is devoted to the dissemination of knowledge based on firm experimental ground, but not to particular approaches or schools of thought. Theoretical and historical papers are welcome to the extent that they serve this general purpose; papers of an applied nature are acceptable if they contribute to basic understanding or serve to bridge the often felt gap between basic and applied research in the field covered by the Journal.
