Schema Theory - California State University, Sacramento
Schema TheoryLinguists, cognitive psychologists, and psycholinguists have usedthe concept of Schema (plural: schemata) to understand theinteraction of key factors affecting the comprehension process.

A Schema , then, is a generalized description or a conceptualsystem for understanding knowledge-how knowledge is representedand how it is to this Theory , schemata represent knowledgeabout concepts: objects and the relationships they havewith other objects, situations, events, sequences ofevents, actions, and sequences of actions. A simple example is to think of your Schema for dog. Within that Schema you most likely have knowledge aboutdogs in general (bark, four legs, teeth, hair, tails)and probably information about specific dogs, such ascollies (long hair, large, Lassie) or springer spaniels(English, docked tails, liver and white or black andwhite, Millie).
