3**actual exam question**

13The finding of subliminal semantic priming supports which of the following:
- Atypicality effects in set-theoretical models

14Brewer and Treyens (1981) had experimental subjects spend a couple of minutes in an atypical office.

- Cfeature integration theory
- Dschema theory
15When Bower, Black, and Turner (in the "restaurant" study) asked subjects to judge whether various statements came from an earlier story containing some script events they found that:
- Asubjects were very accurate for the story detail but very inaccurate for script events
- Bvery few subjects reported the script events, preferring to stick with the main theme of the story
- Csome subjects recalled items that were part of an event script even though they hadn't been presented as part of the story
- Dmost subjects persisted in reporting story detail and ignored the general outline
16Given the following list of items rapidly presented as the memory set in a Sternberg memory-scanning paradigm:
