Encoding flexibility revisited: evidence for enhanced encoding of stereotype-inconsistent information under cognitive load
Article Abstract:
The two key components of the encoding flexibility model of stereotyping are tested and the results demonstrated the cognitive load's processing of stereotyping-consistent and inconsistent information. The implications of the results for the role of efficiency and the interaction of motivation and ability in social cognition are discussed.
