Question 10
How do schemas affect our memory for information we encounter?
Our memories for information are often skewed by our prior schemas.
We are unable to understand information that doesn’t closely match our worldview.
We don’t take in new information, but instead just repeat the schemas we already know.
Schemas make it easier to store information that doesn’t match what we already expect.
