A schema is a preconceived idea that we use to interpret the new information(sometimes schema is referred to as mental models, scripts, or frames). Schema theory is part of the cognitive approach. It attempts to explain how we organize information and use it to understand other, more recent information. Schema theory assumes schemas influence cognition and behavior.Schemas affect perception by influencing what we pay attention to. Information similar to what we already know will be more easily assimilated and generally accepted. Inconsistent information is harder to adapt to, and schemas can be problematic when learning new, confronting information.
Please answer the following in APA style and give a personal real-life example from this past week that illustrates each (* the examples should not be related to school they should be related to your general life experience) :
How do schemas influence how quickly people learn?
How do schemas impact what people pay attention to?
How do schemas simplify the world?
How do schemas change how we interpret incoming information?
Why are schemas difficult to change ?
