Recognition Memory for Typical and Atypical Actions in Scripted Activities: Tests of a Script Pointer + Tag Hypothesis.

Graesser, Arthur C.; And Others

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, v18 n3 p319-32 Jun 1979

A schema-based framework for representing knowledge and prose organization was studied. Testing of a script pointer and tag hypothesis confirmed that memory discrimination is better for atypical actions in a passage than for typical script actions and that there is no memory discrimination for very typical actions.
