Bartlett objected to the use of tightly controlled laboratory procedures for revealing memory.
He believed in a naturalistic approach to the study of psychology. Following this principle, his approach involved the presentation of meaningful materials rather than nonsensical. In assessing participants’ memory of stories and folk tales Bartlett (1932) discovered a fair amount of reconstruction. He characterized memory as a reconstruction rather than reproduction. The reconstruction was guided by schemata, generalized knowledge structures of situations and events based on experience. This approach though not a controlled experiment provided an alternative to behaviorism setting a stage for a scientific study of cognitive psychology.
