Schemas are mental frameworks that help us interpret and understand the world by organizing knowledge and experiences. They were first introduced by Piaget in 1926 and studied further by Bartlett, who found that existing schemas influence how people recall information. Schemas include person schemas about individuals, event schemas about practices and tasks, role schemas about expected behaviors, and self-schemas about past experiences. Movement can involve fast, continuous movements without feedback or slower movements with segmented information and feedback to correct movements.

2. Schema describes both mental and
physical actions involved in understanding
and knowing. Schemas are knowledge that
help us to interpret the world.

3. The term schema was introduced by
Piaget in 1926.
The concept was introduced by British
Psychologist Frederic Bartlett.
Studies were carried out on reconstructive
memory and participants found that
previous or existing schema influenced
how they recalled information.

4. He proposed that people cannot perform
certain tasks until they are mentally mature
enough to do so.
And that children's’ thinking moves to new
capabilities at some points.
So before certain ages, no matter how
clever a child is, he will not be able to
understand things in certain ways.

5. Person schema about attributes of a
particular individual.
Event schema for practices and tasks
caused by stimuli.
Role schema, how we expect people
performing a certain role to perform.
Self-schema, memories of past
experiences and present situations.

6. For fast continuous movements
Decisions are made in the brain
The information for one movement is sent
The message is received by the muscles
in order for them to perform the movement
Usually there is no feedback

7. For slow movements.
Again, decisions are made in the brain.
Information is sent in segments.
Information is received by muscles for the
movement.
Feedback is available and is needed to
correct movement patterns.
