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.
习惯性的身体活动已被证明可以改善记忆表现，但关于其对记忆干扰影响的研究仍然有限。此外，很少有研究评估了在不同情境下（例如，散步、篮球、游泳）发生的习惯性身体活动行为与记忆之间的关联。基于文献中的这些空白，本系列的六个实验评估了来自美国和德国的年轻成人样本中不同情境的身体活动行为（例如，个体身体活动、在社交环境中进行的身体活动）与记忆干扰之间的关联。在六个实验中，我们可靠地证明了德国人比美国人表现出更好的记忆能力。我们还可靠地证明了不同情境的身体活动与记忆表现无关，也不会减弱记忆干扰。
