Pick two (2) of the areas of human cognition below and (1) discuss how a schema-based interpretation accounts for the experimental findings in the area; and (2) compare and contrast the nature of the schema-based explanation for the two areas you pick. Pick 2 of the following: (a) visual word recognition, (b) memory for text and stories, (c) problem solving, (d) picture perception, (e) memory for pictures or faces. Comparing Schema-Based Explanations

Schema Based Explanations: Comparing

Visual word recognition: A schema-based interpretation of visual word recognition suggests that when we encounter a new word, our brains activate a schema, or a pre-existing mental structure, that contains information about the word’s form, meaning, and how it is typically used in language (Meyer & Schvaneveldt, 2021). The schema allows us to recognize the word quickly, accurately and help you understand it. This view suggests that our vocabulary schemas are continually updated through experiences, which allows us to process more words similar to those we’ve encountered in the past. Picture perception: Schema-based picture perception, which suggests that our brains create a schema (or a mental structure) when we see a new image. This schema contains information about objects and relationships in the image. This schema is essential for understanding and quickly interpreting the image. This view explains why our picture schemas are continually updated and improved by experience. It allows us to process more pictures similar to those we’ve seen before (Bruner 2019, 2019). Cont…
