Once schemas are developed and reinforced through experience, they become integrated frameworks. Which of the following statements accurately describes the interaction between schemas and new information?

Explanation

Option B is correct because the sub-typing model explains how exceptions to a stereotype are categorized separately, allowing the main schema to remain unchanged. In contrast, the book-keeping model (Option C) involves accumulating information to update the schema, while the conversion model (Option D) involves a complete restructuring of the schema. Well-established schemas (Option A) tend to resist change when faced with conflicting evidence.
