Schema

Non-linguistic aspect of cognition a house is determined by “family resemblance”, a vague prototype, not by a list of features (a house doesnt require “roof” or “walls”, a cave is recognized as housing too)This terminology appears traced to Philippe Descola, – Beyond Nature and Culture (2005).
schemas are reinforced rather than modified, novel situations are seen as particular cases of prior ones.
non-linguistic approaches to cognition get recently applied to robotics
Cognitive Schemas During early ontogeny of a child they learn attributive schemas:
1. expectations concerning human actions (internal states – intentionality, affects...) 2. expectations concerning the mode of being of physical objects (gravity, consistent forms, trajectories...) 3. expectations concerning intrinsic natures of non-humans (animation, growth, reproduction...) these are a non-intentional and inarticulable freudian subconscious that gives rise to, channels and organizes structures
Collective Schemas Include sensorimotoric, psychic and emotional dispositions that are internalized via experiences in social environments (producing similar outcomes due to similar upbringing and language) this leads to three skills: structure flows of perception organize activity, and expression of thoughts and emotions provide a framework of interpretation of behavior and events -> establish a “normal” and “acceptable”
Effects of Schemas Schemas are noticeable in (among others): rules, language, ritual, attitudes, techniques, taboos, forms of learning, use of space, theories of ontogeny, geography of sacred sites they leave a mark on feelings, mind and body (especially rites transmit and reproduce norms) predispositions are partially innate and partially cultural/communal there are infinite different combinations throughout history
-Post-modernism, neo-marxism, critical theory, scientific positivism, classical Freudian psychoanalysis, existentialism, relativism; the new left, all these might originate from: (1) the misinterpretation of Gödel's incompleteness theorem; (2) the belief that we are machines; (3) the belief that the deep quantum mysteries don't have a solution within rational human thought, and that they require a different form of logic, widely referred to as quantum logic.-- Sky Darmos, facebook.comSchematism is a term that has been used to refer to excessively rigid thinking.
