Schema: Concept and Definition
1. Define a schema and identify who put forward this concept.
Bodies of information in the form of an outline/model also that is interpreted, stored, and recalled. A British psychologist named Frederic Bartlett was the first to put forward this theory.
2. Discuss how a schema is related to constructive processing.
Schema is used to constructively process situations/events. Thus everybody uses schema in their everyday life because it is the way we see our world without constructively thinking we couldn’t be able create a schema because, without understanding the situation (constructive processing) their schema would be incorrect.
3. Based on psychological research, would you agree or disagree with the conclusion that eyewitness memory is generally accurate?
I disagree, because the eyewitness could be overwhelmed by the action that is taking place at the moment which could impair their memory. The eyewitness could concentrate on the weapon that is involved in the crime. Sometimes witnesses get confused by the questions asked by the officer/attorney who will cause a memory-error. This could be caused by the specific wording of the question that would cause the witness to recall information incorrectly. When children witnesses get involved it is quite hard for them to recall information because, their memory isn’t highly reliable. Children’s memories are easily influence in highly emotional situations. This could cause false memory. False memory is developed when victims are unable to remember a particular part of an event. In conclusion I highly disagree that all eyewitness memory is accurate.
4. Provide a persuasive argument regarding whether you agree or disagree that eyewitness memory is generally accurate. You need to provide support for your position by using the textbook and one additional scholarly source.
As I previously argued in my answer for question 3, I highly disagree that eyewitness memory is generally accurate. I disagree because the
