The purpose of the present study was to address the effects of urban vs. rural upbringing on earliest autobiographical memories. We asked children (aged 10-13) brought up in an urban vs. in a rural setting to report their earliest memories. Earliest memories of children from rural areas were a year later than those of children from urban areas. Moreover, memories of children from rural areas were more likely to contain social interactions and tended to be less detailed compared to those from urban areas. The groups, however, were not different in specificity, autonomous orientation, or emotion. Results are discussed in the context of a social cultural developmental approach.
本研究的目的是探讨城市与农村成长环境对最早自传体记忆的影响。我们让在城市和农村环境中长大的儿童（10 - 13岁）报告他们最早的记忆。农村地区儿童的最早记忆比城市地区儿童的晚一年。此外，与城市地区儿童相比，农村地区儿童的记忆更可能包含社交互动，且细节较少。然而，两组在特异性、自主取向或情感方面没有差异。研究结果将在社会文化发展方法的背景下进行讨论。
