The reminiscence bump is a phenomenon where people tend to recall more personal events from adolescence and early adulthood than from other periods of their lives. This effect is observed across different cultures, including both Egyptian and American seniors. Therefore, Ahmet's reminiscence bump would not differ significantly from that of an American senior, as it is a widely observed phenomenon that does not significantly vary with nationality or culture.
