A brief statement of schema theory

Abstract

Schema theory has recently been extended, coupled with suitable stimulus generating, procedures, and shown to have some predictive utility. A concise summary of extended schema theory is here presented, with provisional definitions of key terms and a statement of the basic suppositions. A distinction is made between the single schema condition and the mixed schema conditions; suppositions about schema learning are offered for both cases. © 1967, Psychonomic Press.
