True or False. A self-schema helps us quickly organize and interpret information about the self. We will be more likely to remember a term if it was used in a neutral sentence than if it was used in relation to our personalities. When we process information about ourselves, the middle frontal lobes light up.

Answer:

The answer is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are more likely to remember something if it relates to you.

The self-schema refers to a long lasting and stable set of memories that summarize a person's beliefs, experiences and generalizations about the self, in specific behavioral domains. A person may have a self-schema based on any aspect of himself or herself as a person, including physical characteristics, personality traits and interests, as long as they consider that aspect of their self important to their own self-definition.
