Self-reference has been shown to increase memory of trait adjectives and/or small sayings (ex. Ganellen & Carver, 1985, Belleza, 1984; Brown, Keenan & Potts, 1986). More generally, Craik & Lockhart have shown that processing through the use of the self has been shown to be effective with human memory. This has also been shown to be beneficial when imagery instructions are used (Brown, P., Keenan, J., and Potts, G., 1986). Finally, Brandan Wagar and Dov Cohen (2003) have tested whether cultural differences in conception of self-influence these effects (Wagar, & Cohen, 2003).
