Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angelique came to class expecting a lecture on east Ecuadoran carpet-weaving, but instead encountered a completely unexpected situation. The professor's behavior was inconsistent with Angelique's pre-existing schema (or mental representation) of what a typical lecture on carpet-weaving would involve. Therefore, Angelique is likely to encode this as memorable information that is inconsistent with her professor schema.
