What is Schema?
Piaget called the schema the basic building block of intelligent behavior – a way of organizing knowledge. 

While reading a course mate, Kat Goh's blog on schema, she wrote about the experiment that our course examiner, David made us do (refer to paragraph above). You can also read his post on schemata and the source of dissonance?
