Document Summary
Sort new information into our existing knowledge of how to do laundry (fit knowledge into our schema) Self-schemas: schemas about the self based on past experiences: influences future responses, and plays a critical role in ability to form memories about our lives. Memories of our past are influenced by our motivation to view ourselves in particular ways. False memory: remembering events that didn"t occur & incorrectly recalling details of an event. Car-crash scenario: changing 1 verb (contacted vs. smashed) changed speed estimates dramatically: smash: inserted broken glass into accident reports (reported a more violent scene) People respond yes- they encode the stop sign into their memory of the event: children- particularly susceptible. Asked in accusatory tone, reported janitor was being rough & was mean. Asked in innocent tone (implying janitor cleaning the dolls)- treated toys nicely. Asked in neutral tone (implying nothing)- children"s report very accurate. Told stories about sam stone & how clumsy he was.
