q2 · i? · review · r2

The essay reports a free-recall experiment by Kardash, Royer, and Greene (1988) on retrieval of text information from a specific perspective or schema, in which "more information was recalled by the experimental group" than the control group. No effect size is printed.

"Their results showed that more information was recalled by the experimental group (those given a perspective or schema) than that recalled by the control group, (those instructed to carefully read the story)"
