Abstract: This study investigates the impact of intrinsic image memorability on recollection and familiarity in memory processes. Through a survey-based approach involving 157 valid participants, the research explores how factors such as gender and educational background influence intrinsic image memorability. Results indicate that gender significantly affects intrinsic image memorability, with females demonstrating higher scores on the Imagery and Cognition Questionnaire (ICQ) compared to males. Additionally, a weak positive correlation was found between educational background and ICQ scores. The study concludes that intrinsic image memorability is influenced by individual differences and contextual factors, highlighting the importance of considering these variables in cognitive research. Future research should address limitations such as the reliance on self-report measures and the need for more diverse samples to further elucidate the complex interplay between image memorability, recollection, and familiarity.
