Marcus was investigating the impact of schema consistency on memory recall in a professional workspace. He placed several kitchen-related items (such as a whisk and a rolling pin) and several non-kitchen-related items (such as a screwdriver and a gardening glove) in a commercial kitchen training room. Participants spent two minutes in the room and were later asked to recall as many items as they could.
The findings from Marcus's study are presented in Table 1.
| Kitchen-related items (schema-consistent) | Non-kitchen-related items (schema-incongruent) | |
|---|---|---|
| Mean number of items recalled | 16 | 8 |
