- Abstract
Throughout years of studying the schematic knowledge influence or schema effect, we have a general understanding of how it manipulates our memory and causes some sorts of different levels of memory distortions. This study examines how the differences in schematic knowledge are going to influence people’s memory. The present study involved 20 participants from 18 to 30 years old who had at least finished high school education. Participants in this experiment will either be domestic Chinese Students who have never studied abroad or studied in Western countries for less than a year, or international Chinese students who have studied one or more years in Western countries. Participants will be shown to two different backgrounds of dining halls either Chinese or Western dining halls and followed with a menu list including 10 dishes, and they will be tested on a memory recognition test of those dishes. In this case of study, both domestic and international Chinese students should have more background information with their corresponding dining halls and menus so that domestic Chinese are more familiar with Chinese dining hall and menu, while international students are more familiar with Western dining halls and menus, in which they should react faster and have a better accuracy rate when the test is corresponding to their schemata.
