Participants in this study were recruited from a general psychology class to limit preexisting knowledge of psychological disorders. Half of the participants were trained to recognize features of Generalized Anxiety Disorder with the purpose of forming a schema for that disorder, whereas the other half were not. Participants memory for the diagnostic and non-diagnostic details within a hypothetical case vignette was tested using a free recall prompt followed by a yes/no recognition test. Trained participants falsely recognized the diagnostic detail restlessness and falsely recalled the diagnostic detail uncontrollable worry at a significantly higher rate than controls, suggesting that the training successfully formed a schema for GAD symptoms. </p> Jared W.
