Schemas:
An active organisation of past reactions and experiences.
Or its a mental picture you form from experience 

We use schemas to build a picture of the world and to make sense of new information.

Can experience alter our memories?
Yes - sometimes we can misremember things if we have made them fit with our previous experiences.

• If we see something unusual like a three wheeled car we might modify our schema for cars to account for this...
• Or.. we may instead recall seeing a car with four wheels because that fits with our existing schema.

Schemas and expectations:
What happens when you go into an exam hall? You remember all the steps needed to take your exam

• When we rely on past memories to "fill in gaps" to give a more detailed account of an event or situation
• this is not a conscious process, so people are not lying when they confabulate. (its accidental)
• This is us trying to make sense of something that has happened - but this is when the memory is complete.
