I think that while it is necessary for us to have schemas to conceptualize the world around us at a reasonable pace with the resources we have; I don't think we are so simple that schemas is definitive in each person's perspective (which is almost what I understood to be implied at the end of your video).
Thanks for the suggestion - introspection is an interesting topic... It's made something of a resurgence in recent years with the growth of positive psychology!
Can multiple schemas be active at once? And can they combine if they overlap? Are there particular categories of schemata which can work together more easily than others? And, given that we are curious, prediction-testing, adaptive creatures, are there particular scenarios in which we do re-assess our schemas? Which experiences will contribute towards the building and changing of our schemas, and which experiences will be immediately discarded as mere background noise?
I wonder is our behavior also influenced by schema? For example, when we're in the restaurant and we hear someone cooking or waiters are serving ( I believe this is when schema occurs.) then we unconsciously feel hungry and desire for food.
Yes, you're right. Behaviours are also thought to be driven by schemas. In fact one of the earliest schemas we develop as infants is a grabbing schema as we learn that objects can be grabbed and held if we reach out for them
Schema are a conceptual "net" that captures useful elements of your long term memory together and bundles them into quick-to-use shortcuts. Rather than having to recall all the details of last experience, schema allow you to recall the gist... Enough to make you feel that you've remembered everything you need, without draining your mental resources
Hey Rosa, thanks for your comment :) the schema is the process by which complex information is simplified, so they help speed up our ability to recognise or do things, that would otherwise require lengthy periods of discovery each time. Schemata are essentially mental shorthand...
Also, I think a better way to describe assimilation is: a process in which our existing knowledge influences new conflicting information to better fit with our existing knowledge, thus reducing the likelihood of schema change (found in the textbook: principles of social psychology). I only add this because the understanding that "assimilation is when new information is modified to fit a pre-existing schema," it would be really easy for someone with little knowledge on this subject to misunderstand its role entirely.
So next time you encounter someone who's racist or sexist etc. You can just say, I see you don't quite have the mental resources to look beyond your biased assumption of that particular group XP

So simple and clear. Loved the way you presented the basic concepts with great examples. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your comment :)
Yes I would struggle without the examples.
Definitely helped to understand this theoretical concept
Thank you for this amazing video.
You're welcome! Thank you for your comment!
Thank you so much it helped me a lot with my homework!
You're welcome!
Thank you! It was very helpful.
You're welcome :)
Please make video on how to observe our own thoughts and feelings

Thank you a lot for this very useful video❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ u helped me to understand this concept very easily and with fun
Thanks for your comment Lisa! I'm pleased the video helped!
very helpful thank you
You're welcome :)
great video love it
Thank you!
Thanks sir. It was really helpful 😊😊😊💕.
You're welcome - glad the video helped!

Clearly explained
Thank you very much.
You're welcome :)
How are schema are related to long term memory?

Hey, that was really helpful thank you! In what way would you say do schemas help us process information in social cognition?

Arnold what ??
Yes
this is helping me through my psychology module!
Amazing :) I'm pleased it's helping! Enjoy your module!
very helpfu
Thanks :) glad the video helped!
Schema quite interesting
the mic's backwards
Can you hear me!? 🎤
Schema is the autopilot system

he looks like prince harry mixed with prince william!!!
Hahaha that's the look I was going for :p
Thanks but you are a little bit fast in your presentation.
Thank you for your message :) I think there might be a way to watch it at a slower speed, but I take your point!
schema?
stereotypes schemas and anchoring bias
So next time you encounter someone who's racist or sexist etc. You can just say, I see you don't quite have the mental resources to look beyond your biased assumption of that particular group XP
Haha let me know what they reply 😂
