The present study investigates the relationship between mother-child interaction styles with 19 months and children's autobiographical memory with 3 years of age in two cultural contexts: New Delhi, India (n = 25) and Berlin, Germany (n = 33). Results demonstrate similarities as well as culture specificities. In both contexts, maternal elaborations during reminiscing were related to children's memory contributions. Over time, maternal support for toddlers' self-expression during free play at 19 months predicted their children's memory elaborations at 3 years in the Berlin context. In the Delhi context, toddlers' willingness to carry out their mothers' requests at 19 months predicted their memory elaborations at 3 years. These results suggest different motivational bases underlying children's autobiographical memory contributions during mother-child reminiscing related to different cultural orientations.
本研究考察了在两个文化背景下（印度新德里，n=25；德国柏林，n=33），19 个月时的母子互动风格与 3 岁时的儿童自传体记忆之间的关系。结果表明，存在相似性和文化特异性。在这两种情况下，回忆时母亲的详细说明与儿童的记忆贡献有关。随着时间的推移，19 个月时母亲对幼儿自由游戏中自我表达的支持，预测了在柏林背景下 3 岁时儿童的记忆详细程度。在德里背景下，19 个月时幼儿愿意执行母亲的要求，预测了他们在 3 岁时的记忆详细程度。这些结果表明，与不同的文化取向相关，儿童在母子回忆中进行自传体记忆贡献的背后有不同的动机基础。
