Question

First decide what feedback you would give to this student. Then try to rewrite the paragraph based on the feedback that you give. One example of a study that demonstrates schema theory is the War of Ghosts study by Bartlett. This study was done with British participants. They listened to a Native American legend. The story was used because it was not familiar to the participants and Bartlett wanted to see how schema might affect their ability to retell the story. Bartlett read the story to the participants. They were asked to reproduce the story repeatedly over a period of days, months, and even years. Bartlett found that schema did affect their memory. The participants added information, forgot information and changed information so that it matched their culture. So, for example, they changed "canoes" to "boats." There were many limitations of this study. First, the instructions Bartlett used were very vague. It is possible that the distortion was because people were just guessing. A second problem with this study is that because it was done in a lab, it lacks ecological validity. This means that we cannot generalize the results to a larger population.
