Question

My sister has a story that she remembers. When we were in New Jersey on holiday, we went to Sea World. There, my five-year-old sister saw a dolphin show. The dolphins came up out of the water and frightened her. She was so upset, my father had to remove her from the audience. On that same trip, she slipped while running near the hotel pool and fell into the water. My father had to dive in to save her. My sister's memory is that she fell into the pool with dolphins. How can schema theory be used to explain this

Answer 1

In psychology and cognitive science, a schema is a mental structure that represents some aspect of the world. People use schemas to organize current knowledge and provide a basis for future understanding.
