Individual Differences in Schema Utilization during Discourse Processing.
Spiro, Rand J.; Tirre, William C.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n2 p204-08 Apr 1980

It was shown that college students varied in their relative employment of knowledge-based processes, and that individuals tended to be more "text bound" when they were more "stimulus bound" according to an embedded figures test.
