who introduced schema in psychology
Examples of schemata include rubrics, perceived social roles, stereotypes, and worldviews. 1  The concept of schema was first introduced into psychology by British psychologist Frederic Bartlett in Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology (1932). Bartlett perceived organized knowledge as an elaborate network of abstract mental structures that represent a personâs understanding of the world, and he studied the impact of oneâs cultural background in rephrasing and memorizing certain events.
