Schema Theory

Scripts also support a computational theory, similar in spirit to frames in artificial intelligence (Minsky 1981). Both are based on the general idea of schemas as a basis for mental representation (see e.g. Arbib 1989; Brewer and Nakamura 1984; Bartlett 1932; Bobrow and Norman 1975; Rumelhart 1980).

Kant first introduced the concept of schema. It is the internal landscape that we use to interpret the world around us. How we make sense of our perceptions.
