I got my name years ago while researching some of the methodology behind reading multiple lines of sentence at once and how the retention of that information is interpreted and stored. One of the key factors included "Schema", which I found to be, at the time, a pretty interesting concept. And my bike has "SCHEMA" plates
Think of schema as a set of rules that each posesses that they use to understand or interperet the world. Throw a ball in the air, and you already know what's going to happen, come down right? But how do you know that before it actually happens? It's based off of your schema, the set of rules you've grown to understand.
Ever drive along and all of a sudden a car cuts right in front of you and the first thing you say is " I knew that was going to happen!!". Yep, schema.
Your parents use to tell you " Bring that thing-a-ma-bob over to me" and magically you knew they meant a hammer?... Schema
A friend starts a sentence and you finish it. ... you get the point.
Actual definition : All human beings possess categorical rules or scripts that they use to interpret the world. New information is processed according to how it fits into these rules, called schema. These schema can be used not only to interpret but also to predict situation occurring in our environment.
