Piaget's Schema - Wie wir Informationen verändern um sie aufzunehmen

The video explores the concept of schemas as mental frameworks that help us process information. It discusses assimilation and accommodation, cognitive processes that integrate new information into existing knowledge. Frederic Bartlett's experiment illustrates how schemas influence memory and perception, showing that unfamiliar details are often omitted or altered to fit existing schemas. The video concludes by emphasizing that memory is adaptable and constantly evolving, supporting the idea that humans construct their past through a self-narrative.

• By fitting new information into existing schemas

• By creating entirely new schemas

What is required when encountering information that doesn't fit into existing schemas?

• Memorization

• Assimilation

• Accommodation

• Repetition

In Bartlett's experiment, why did students omit unfamiliar details?

• The details were too complex

• The details did not fit into their existing schemas

• The details were irrelevant

• They were not paying attention

How did students in Bartlett's experiment rationalize the illogical aspects of the story?

• By ignoring them

• By adding logical connections

• By asking for clarification

• By memorizing the story

What does the adaptation of long-term memory suggest about human perception?

• It is solely based on facts

• It is fixed and unchangeable

• It is constantly evolving

• It is unreliable

According to Jean Piaget, why do we construct our experiences in schemas?
