Schema theories are theories about the representation and use of knowledge for given information, The purposes of this study were to investigate scene comprehension and memory representation, and implication of schema theory to complex scene information, Therefore, Four experiments are conducted, In experiment 1, picture verification task was conducted by scene material, The result have shown that typical inventory was faster than atypical one, But there are no effects of organization and presence. In experiment 2, scene priming time was controlled and picture verification task was conducted by scene material. The result have shown that typical inventory was faster than atypical one, And there are no effects of organization and presence, But we gained interaction by typicality and organization, the source of interaction was atypical inventory in organization condition, In experiment 3, scene theme priming and picture naming task was conducted. The result was same as experiment 1, In experiment 4, scene naming was conducted. The result have shown that the effects of typicality and organization were significant, All these resluts support scene schema theory But spatial organization was complex and indirect effects on scene comprehension rather than typicality of inventory.
