College undergraduates read.stories from one of 4wo directed per-spectives or no directed'perspective. An idea's significance in terms / ,of a given perspective determintd whether the idea would be learned , 0 and, independently, whether it could be recalled a week later. These results were interpreted to.mean that alternative high-level schemata can provide frameworks for assimilating a text, perhaps byprovidilmg. "slots" for different types of information. Later the schella from which an instantiated memorial representation of,a passage was construe. ted may furnish the retrieval plan for recovery of detailed information.
