Recently, you took your nephew, Jamie, to a local fast food restaurant
When you took Jamie home, he told his mother, "We drove to Wendy's, we got out of the car, we stood in line, I got a Kid's Meal with chicken nuggets and milk, and I got a cool toy, too." Jamie's recall of the visit to Wendy's was mostly correct but Wendy's was out of milk so Jamie got a soft drink instead. What can you tell Jamie's mother about scripts and how they can influence memory that might explain Jamie's incorrect memory of his lunch? What will be an ideal response?
