Two experiments addressed the question of whether demands produced by the processing of domain-related information varied as a function of a person's domain knowledge. The M. Daneman and P. A. Carpenter (1980, Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 19, 450-466) reading span task was employed in both experiments with subjects recalling the final words of sets of sentences. In Experiment 2 subjects also recalled the sentence contents. In both experiments each sentence set had baseball or neutral contents and sentences within a set were or were not sequentially related. Results indicated that processing baseball material produced greater processing demands upon low than upon high knowledge individuals, but only when sentence recall was required (Experiment 2). The results, taken with other findings, indicate that domain knowledge influences processing at a situational model or mental model level but not at a microlevel or propositional level. In addition, the results suggested that a motivational component influences the processing of high knowledge individuals yielding greater concentration. The results also supported the use of the reading span measure as an index of processing efficiency.
