Culture and Memory Revisited

An Example from Buganda

Richard B. Pollnac

The free recall of words among several samples of Baganda schoolchildren are examined in light of recent studies conducted in Africa and elsewhere. Quantitative and qualitative differences in free recall within a specific age-education group suggest that there is interschool variability in some component of the educational process related to memory skills. It is thus suggested that years of education must be more carefully defined in cross-cultural studies of cognition.
