" Subjects with greater knowledge of Christianity made significantly higher scores on…[a] Buddhism retention test than did subjects with less knowledge of Christianity. This significantly positive relationship between Christianity and Buddhism test scores held up even when the effect of verbal ability was eliminated. Hence the data support the hypothesis that the learning and retention of unfamiliar verbal materials varies positively with its discriminability from related, previous learned concepts established in cognitive structure, and that this endogenously determined discriminability is a function of the clarity and stability of the latter concepts."(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
