Peer reviewedMcDaniel, Mark A.; Kerwin, Mary Louise E. – Discourse Processes, 1987
Examines (in two experiments) the effects of schematic and proposition-specific processing on long term story memory. Determines that recall of idea units was an additive function of the idea's importance. Finds that both proposition-specific and schema-related processing are important for long-term retention of narrative prose. (SKC)
