MEMORY FOR STEREOTYPE-CONSISTENT AND STEREOTYPE-INCONSISTENT INFORMATION AS A FUNCTION OF PROCESSING PACE

Additional evidence is obtained for the notion that stereotypes guide information processing and judgment inference under high processing de mands. Subjects were provided with behavioural information about membe rs of a social group. When presentation pace was high, subjects recall ed more stereotype-consistent information than stereotype-inconsistent information, while this pattern was reversed under conditions of low presentation pace. Furthermore, judgments were more stereotypic when p resentation pace was high.
