Background/Objectives: Word- and picture-based visual memory are negatively correlated: improving one reduces the other. Pictures supposedly easier to remember than words because objects scenes can capture attention more effectively, resulting in highly detailed representations. However, mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain unclear, trade-off between these two types is not fully understood. Therefore, study investigated influence of differences recognition by focusing on word picture stimuli. Methods: Electroencephalography (EEG) activity 21 healthy young adults (9 women 12 men, aged 20.1 ± 1.30 years) during tasks involving four conditions—pictures, hiragana, katakana, kanji—was assessed. Results: The condition exhibited highest EEG activity, followed kanji, katakana conditions. Further analysis revealed a tendency for significantly lower R-temporal α, R-occipital β, high-γ waves memorization compared other conditions, higher central low-γ waves. no significant were observed recall process under any condition. Conclusions: power levels, particularly waves, served as indicators performance. Picture presentation streamlined brain thus potentially enhance Our findings may inform development targeted management strategies individuals with dementia.
