"The word schema comes from the Greek word meaning an outline or pattern. This outline or pattern is a way to make sense of the world in your brain. Think of your brain like a large filing cabinet. In your cabinet, you have many folders such as “rooms in my house," “family,” “school,” “my neighborhood,” and “my plans.” In each of these folders, there are memories or ideas. Many of your new experiences will fit easily into an existing folder. If, however, you encounter something that does not fit into one of your existing folders, you will need to consider creating a new folder or making an extended connection. Organization of information by your brain helps us to remember important information."
