Schema (psychology) - History

History

Early developments of the idea in psychology emerged with the gestalt psychologists and Jean Piaget: the term "schema" was introduced by Piaget in 1926. The concept was introduced into psychology and education through the work of the British psychologist Frederic Bartlett, who drew on the term body schema used by neurologist Henry Head. It was expanded into schema theory by educational psychologist R. C. Andersen. Since then, many other terms have been used to describe schema, such as including "frame", "scene", and "script".
