Marian and Neisser (2000) conducted a study in which Russian immigrants to the United States were given autobiographical memory interviews
They found language-dependent recall; that is, when prompted in
Russian, they recalled more Russian than English memories. When prompted in English, they recalled more
U.S. memories. In a second study, the researchers looked for the source of this effect — they were interested in whether this language-dependent recall was more dependent on the language of the cue-word, or on the
language of the interview itself. They found that:
a) language of the cue words played a larger role in language-dependent recall than did interview language
b) language of the interview played a larger role in language-dependent recall than did cue-word language
c) cue-word language and interview language were equally important in language-dependent recall
d) cue words were more important in producing early memories; interview language was more important in
producing later memories
