Alternative Organizations in Memory for Trait-Relevant Behaviors

Some theories of person memory have assumed that social behaviors are hierarchically organized in memory in terms of trait concepts. In the research paradigm commonly used to test these theories, adjectives describing the traits are presented before the behaviors, and the behaviors usually have little in common other than the abstract trait concepts. This paradigm may bias subjects towards using a trait-based organization that they may not use under other circumstances.
