Evidence for a Selective Storage Mechanism in Prose Learning.
Royer, James M.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n4 p457-62 Aug 1978

Subjects told that a reading passage was about a famous person before reading the passage made more false positive errors in a recognition test. (Author/BH)
