Schemas are generalizations about categories of objects, events, and people. Example: Dana's schema for books is that they are a bound stack of paper with stories or other information written on each page. When her fifth-grade teacher suggests that each student read a book on the computer, Dana is confused until she sees that the same information could be presented on a computer screen. Dana has now revised her schema for books to include those presented through electronic media. Let's compare this to scripts and mental models. Scripts are mental representations of familiar sequences, usually involving activity. Example: As a college student, you have a script of how events should transpire in the classroom: students enter the classroom, sit in seats facing the professor, and take out their notebooks. The professor lectures while students take notes, until the bell rings and they all leave. Mental models are clusters of propositions that represent people's understanding of how things work. Example: There is a toy that is a board with different types of latches, fasteners, and buttons on it. As children play with it, they form a mental model of how these things work. Then, when they see a button, perhaps a doorbell, they will have an understanding of how it works. Hope this helps!
