Bobbie took part in a memory experiment. As she studied a list of to-be-remembered words, she took the time to form an elaborate image of each word. She was confident she would do well on the later memory test, but the researchers did not ask her to recall the actual words. Instead, they asked her to recall whether each word was printed in upper-case or lower-case letters. Bobbie did very poorly
on the test, scoring only at chance levels.
