Bismillah ir Rahman ir Rahim (In the name of God, the most beneficent the most merciful.)
To put it simply, a schema is an idea/concept of another idea. For example, many students in elementary school have never been to a high school before. Yet due to books, media, TV shows; many students have an idea/schema for what high school is. They expect the students and teachers to act a certain way, they expect the school work to be a certain way. They have an idea in there mind for what something is without having experienced it firsthand. Perhaps when the student finally attends high school they will develop a new schema based on there own experiences.
By nature, an idea/schema can be developed without having experienced the specific event/location. The behaviorist approach suggests, an idea must be generated by experiencing the event; however a schema can be developed without having any firsthand experience of the specific idea. Therefore, to conclude, a schema is a cognitive concept rather then a behavioral one, as a schema is developed in the mind and does not require experience to be developed.

Can you think of a reason why schemas are important for us?
