  Bartlett, Frederic (1886-1969) | Learning & Memory
Frederic Charles Bartlett was born on October 20, 1886, in Stow on the Wold, Gloucestershire.
Bartlett instigated research into a variety of topics, including studies of the detection of faint sounds, a project in which he collaborated with Emily Mary Smith, whom he married in 1920, and studies of individual differences in how subjects described pictures.
Bartlett observed that the two methods yielded similar results: Recall was not duplicative but represented a reconstruction of the original story or picture based on memories of key details; the reconstruction could be biased by conventionalization and importation.

 Narrative Theory, by Ismail S Talib -- Chapter 8: The Schema
This difficulty may have its origin in Frederic Bartlett, whose use of the concept is generally recog­nised now as the most important early use of the concept in the twentieth century (see the next section).
The first significant use of the concept in twentieth-century psychology is by Frederic Bartlett in his book Remem­bering (1932), in which, in his experiments with the Amer­indian story ‘The War of the Ghosts’, he hypothesised that the recall and comprehension of the story were affected by schemas, which had their origins in the socio­cul­tural world.
Bartlett's con­ception is borrowed by Ernst Gombrich in his book Art and Illusion (1960), where it is used in relation to art criti­cism.
