Reduction of schematic information during encoding

Reduction of schematic information during encoding has no effect on hits to schematic targets in humans.

“Hits to schematic targets were equitable across conditions.”

Reduction of schematic information during encoding increases hits to nonschematic targets in humans.

“as there was less schematic information present at encoding, false alarms to schematic lures decreased, and hits to nonschematic targets increased.”
