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.
