3. One way that schemas influence social thought is by

retrieved rapidly
2. Increasing our cognitive load by activating more information from our
long term memory stores
3. Activating the availability heuristic and enabling automatic priming
4. Acting as a filter to direct our attention towards some
information and way from other information.
4. Schemas affect our use of stored memory by
1. Making it easier to retrieve information that is consistent with
the schema
2. Increasing the cognitive load on our reasoning abilities, making it more
difficult to search our memories
3. Deactivating the anchoring and adjustment process whereby we make
social judgement
4. Not allowing the use of memories to reduce cognitive load.
5. Automatic mental processing has the positive affect of
1. Focusing on information that may be useful at some future time
2. Priming our memories for related situations or events
3. Reducing the level of bias our judgement and decisions
4. Regarding the effort needed for understanding the social world.
6. In thinking about a major assignment that is due in one week, Jesy
focuses on the tasks to be accomplished and how she thinks she will
approach each task. She does not spend much time thinking about
how long similar tasks have taken her in the past. As a result, Jesy
is likely to be underestimate the amount of time needed for the
assignment. This is probably because Jacey has
1. Fallen prey to the negative bias
2. Activated an inappropriate schema
3. Engaged in magical thinking
4. Entered a planning or narrative mode of thought.
