When later tested for details of the story, participants were:

• A)less likely to recognize and remember the actions that were inconsistent with the script than the consistent actions.
• B)more likely to recall the scenes in which Jack was interacting with the female receptionist than when he was interacting with his dog or the neighbor's kid.
