“…This was not the case: When participants were asked to recall a specific behavioural incident in which they manifested a particular trait (recall task), those who had first made a self-descriptiveness judgement were no faster than those who had not (e.g., Klein & Loftus, 1990, 1993aKlein et al, 1989Klein et al, , 1992b). Yet the procedure used is known to be sensitive enough to detect episodic priming when it occurs (e.g., Babey, Queller, & Klein, 1998;Klein et al, 1992b;Sherman & Klein, 1994;Sherman, Klein, Laskey, & Wyer, 1998). (For experiments showing that this result obtains regardless of how ''central'' a trait is to one's self-concept, see, for example, Klein, Cosmides, Tooby, & Chance, 2001;Klein & Loftus, 1990, 1993aKlein et al, 1992b.…”
