	Mental Models
		Schema theory is a theoretical framework which has emerged in the cognitive sciences over the last two decades and which holds particular promise for enriching our knowledge of moral reasoning.
		Schemas are conceptual structures and processes which enable human beings to store perceptual and conceptual information about the world and make interpretations of events through abstraction.
		Schemas are flexible configurations, mirroring the regularities of experience, providing automatic completion of missing components, automatically generalizing from the past, but also continually in modification, continually adapting to reflect the current state of affairs.

	Indicators 1998 - Chapter 7 - Science and Technology: Public Attitudes and Public Understanding - Attitudes Toward ...
		Some social psychology literature indicates that most individuals, when faced with a daily barrage of complex information, often construct schemas to filter and manage information (Schank 1977; Minsky 1986; Lau and Sears 1986; Milburn 1991; and Pick, van den Broek, and Knill 1992).
		Schemas are usually cumulative in character and help people categorize new information while also providing an initial filtering response to the information.
		By itself, this pattern would suggest that both of these schema operate simultaneously and in opposite directions, but other factors-such as level of education and the number of science courses taken-influence the general schema themselves; thus, the relationship is more complex.

		Moreover, the gender schema becomes linked to self-concept so that children, as part of their motivation to become "good" girls or boys, engage in the gender-appropriate behavior specified by the gender schema.

		Situation-specific schema help to explain the difference between expert and novice interpretation of knowledge; experts, with more complex developed schema in a particular subject area can function better in any given domain than a novice with no schema or an inadequate schema to help them interpret and react to new information.
		Since these schemas are context specific, they are dependent on an individual’s experience with and exposure to a subject area rather than simply "raw intelligence." (See references to expert-novice studies on page 155 in Driscoll).
		Tuning is when learners realize that their existing schema is inadequate for the new knowledge and modify their existing schema accordingly.

	A Note on "Schemata" and "Image Schemata" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		The term schema (plural: schemata, or sometimes schemas) is widely used in cognitive psychology and the cognitive sciences generally to designate "psychological constructs that are postulated to account for the molar forms of human generic knowledge" (Brewer, 1999).
		Although the different usages of schema are seldom completely unrelated, and have common etymological roots, it can by no means be safely assumed that properties or functions explicitly or implicitly attributed to schemata by one theorist will necessarily apply to schemata as another theorist conceives of them.
		Thus, although Johnson (1987) claims his usage of schema is inspired directly by Kant, I do not think he would deny that he has transformed the Kantian concept radically, elaborating it in ways that Kant himself thought would not be possible, and might very well not have approved.

		Despite Wundt's calling the new science, physiological psychology, heinsisted the psychic and the physiological process are separate andparallel.2 As causality in natural science is a closed system,3 the phenomena that are studied by natural science cannot affect the mind or beaffected by it.
		He was also very critical of French psychology, claiming that the work done in that country was reduced to studies of suggestion and hypnotism.44 Somewhat petulantly he argued that one cannot give the name, "experimental psychology" to each and every operation that brings about a change in consciousness.
		Folk psychology is differentiated from ethnology by Wundt because the latter is concerned primarily with the external cultures and only in a very incidental fashion with the psychological characteristics that are at the core of folk psychology.

	Schemas - WikEd
		In all or any of the meanings, schemas (schemata)are mental plans that are abstract and that they function as guides for action, as structure for interpreting information, as frameworks for solving problems.
		For example, a prehensile schema for a child learning how to grape an object and perceiving the concrete object; people use reference to a linguistic schema for comprehending a sentence, a paragraph, and a context.
		It was from these teachings of schemas that Richard C. Anderson, a prominent educational psychologist, developed the "schema theory of learning." Anderson's learning theory describes schemas as knowledge that has been carefully organized into an elaborate network of abstract concepts by which we understand life and the world in which we live.

		The thesis that introspection is simply the common scientific method of observation, applied from the standpoint of a descriptive psychology, was maintained explicitly by Pillsbury in 1904: "It would seem that introspection differs from [external] observation only in the attitude of mind as we examine the mental process."[5] I argued to the same [p.
