Abstract
Three experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of levels of representational hierarchy, presence of unexpected information and its resolution on encoding and retrieving script texts. It was found that unexpected information was processed longer but primed-reconized faster and recalled in greater amount than expected information. Unexpected information at higher levels of scripts were processed longer and retrieved fatter and in greater amount. It was also found that resolution sentences following the unexpected sentences were retrieved faster and better than resoution sentences.
