Bartlett originally tested his idea of the individually relative nature of recall by presenting a group of participants with foreign folk tales (his most famous being "War of the Ghosts") with which they had no previous experience with. After presentation of the story, he tested their ability to recall and summarize the stories at various points after presentation. His findings showed that the participants had difficulty recalling the story accurately, with the participants' own account generally being shorter and manipulated in such a way that information from the original story that was unfamiliar or conflicting to the participants' own schematic knowledge was removed or altered in a way to fit into more individually accepted versions
