Knowledge is power: Prior knowledge aids memory for both congruent and incongruent events, but in different ways.

This schema knowledge was maintained at test (bottom row of Table 1 ), with significantly higher accuracy for congruent than unrelated new trials, t (23) = 4.59, p < .001, MD = .18, CI [.11, .25], d = 0.94, though any difference between unrelated and incongruent trials failed to reach significance, t (23) = 0.35, p = .73, two-tailed, MD = .02, CI [−.09, .13], d = 0.07.
