When a schema is highly accessible, it is more likely to be used in processing information and making judgments. This accessibility can result from both personal predispositions and situational factors, such as recent exposure to a concept (priming).

In addition, this module includes a discussion of differences that exist between males and females and how these real gender differences compare to the stereotypes society holds about gender differences.

Insight problems often involve sudden realizations, known as "AHA-experiences," and are difficult to predict. These problems often necessitate restructuring of thought and can sometimes be solved with hints. In contrast, non-insight problems, like arithmetic, use step-by-step schemas for solutions.
