Schema theory is like how your brain organizes information. Think of it like having different folders in your computer, each one labeled with a different topic or idea. For example, you might have a folder for “animals” that has pictures and information about all the different types of animals you’ve learned about. Or you might have a folder for “going to school” that has notes and reminders about what you need to bring and what you’ll be doing in each class. Each time you learn something new, it gets added to the appropriate folder, so you can easily find it later. And when you need to use that information, your brain can access the right folder and pull it out. This is how you make sense of new information and understand the world around you.
