    "abstract": "This study explored how professional\nactors and students differ when asked to\nsegment the same text. Previous research\n(Noice, 1992, Noice & Noice, in press)\nhas indicated that actors, when preparing a\nrole, divide the script into units called\nbeats.To investigate the role this\norganizational device plays during\nlearning, actors and students were\npresented with the s a m e scene from a\ntheatrical script. They were given explicit\nprocedural instructions on how to segment\nthe scene and label their divisions. Actors\ncreated far more divisions, resulting in\nsmaller beats and significantly more of\nthose beats described goal-directed\nactivities from the viewpoint of the\nassigned character. Students, on the other\nhand, seemed to stand outside the situation\nand describe the scene as a static state of\naffairs. The actors' approach to segmenting\na script appeared to consist of inferring\nthe causal relations between the events in\nthe play, resulting in better recall of the\ntemporal order. Previous research (Noice,\n1993) showed that students w h o studied a\ntheatrical script as if it were a school\nassignment retained as m u c h material\nverbatim as actors. However, in the\npresent study in which both groups were\ngiven this script division task, actors'\nverbatim retention w a s significantly\nhigher than that of students'.",
