Researchers have conducted studies about memory for inferences related to gender stereotypes. According to tests that assess explicit memory,
 
  a. people actually remember a greater percentage of items that are the opposite of the common gender stereotype.
  b. people take the pragmatic approach in processing the material, and they recall the exact wording of the original material.
  c. in the current era, people apparently no longer hold gender stereotypes.
  d. people tend to recall gender-stereotyped material somewhat better than nonstereotyped material.

Question 2

The pragmatic view of memory proposes that
 
  a. people typically pay attention to the gist of a story; however, if they realize that exact wording is important, they are likely to emphasize verbatim recall.
  b. people are more concerned with the politeness of a message than with its grammatical structure or the specific meaning in that message.
  c. people realize that researchers are going to be testing verbatim recall, so they pay much more attention to the specific words than they do in real-life situations.
  d. we tend to remember schema-inconsistent material more accurately than schema-consistent material.
