Individual Differences in Schema Utilization during Discourse Processing.

Spiro, Rand J.; Tirre, William C.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n2 p204-08 Apr 1980

Discourse processing involves an interaction of text based processes and prior knowledge. It was shown that college students varied in their relative employment of knowledge-based processes, and that individuals tended to be more "text bound" when they were more "stimulus bound" according to an embedded figures test.
