In a research study described in your text, participants briefly sat in a psychology professor's office and then were taken to another room. When asked about the details of the professor's office, the research participants: a. overestimated how long they had sat in the professor's office. b. mistakenly remembered seeing a hammer and a screwdriver on the professor's desk. c. accurately remembered almost all of the items in the psychologist's office. d. remembered items that were not actually in the office but that were consistent with their schemas of a professor's office.

Option d: Remembered items that were not actually in the office, but that were consistent with their schemas of a professor's office

Explanation:

Participant in a research study is anyone who participates in a research study such as interviews, survey, experiment and others. They actively participate and answer questions in qualitative studies. The participant generally gives much more detailed answers in a survey.

Schema

Is defined as a photographic or mental representation of knowledge stored in the brain by humans. Schemas simply:

1. Organize information

2. Activated to increase information processing efficiency

3. Enable generation of expectations about objects/events/people

4. Regulate behaviour

Participant with different schemas will give the mental representation or picture of the professor office as store in memory.
