[[Schema (psychology)|Schema]] are generally defined as mental information networks that represent some aspect of collected world knowledge. Frederic Bartlett was one of the first psychologists to propose Schematic theory, suggesting that the individual's understanding of the world is influenced by elaborate neural networks that organize abstract information and concepts.<ref name=Bartlett>{{cite web|url=http://iscte.pt/~fgvs/Bartlett,%20Experiments.pdf|title="Frederick Bartlett", Some Experiments on the Reproduction of Folk-Stories, March 30, 1920|publisher=}}</ref> Schema are fairly consistent and become strongly internalized in the individual through [[socialization]], which in turn alters the recall of [[episodic memory]]. Schema are understood to be central to reconstruction, used to confabulate and fill in gaps to provide a plausible narrative. Bartlett also showed that schema can be tied to cultural and social norms.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Bartlett|first=Sir Frederic Charles|url=https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=WG5ZcHGTrm4C&oi=fnd&pg=PR9&ots=BDi-luIlkO&sig=rt8pd3tqn3_xUBr1qelbdEYgMVI#v=onepage&q&f=false|title=Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology|last2=Bartlett|first2=Frederic C.|last3=Bartlett|first3=Frederic Charles|date=1995-06-30|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-48356-8|language=en}}</ref>
