In a Study by University of Arkansas Psychologist James Lampinen

Multiple Choice

In a study by University of Arkansas psychologist James Lampinen, participants listened to a story about a guy named Jack who performed some everyday activities, such as washing his car and taking his dog to the veterinarian for shots. In each scene, Jack performed some actions that were consistent with the script and some behaviors that were inconsistent with the script for the activity. When later tested for details of the story, participants were:

A) less likely to recognize and remember the actions that were inconsistent with the script than those that were consistent with the script.
B) more likely to recall the scenes in which Jack was interacting with the female receptionist than those in which he was interacting with his dog or the neighbor's kid.
C) likely to remember that the neighbor's kids sprayed Jack and that the receptionist flirted with Jack rather than the other way around.
D) more likely to recognize and remember the actions that were inconsistent with the script than those that were consistent with the script.
