- Schema
This sourceLawrence Erlbaum. Foundational AI/cognitive-science account of how narrative-like knowledge structures (scripts, plans, goals) compress disconnected events into coherent causal schemas that drive comprehension and inference.
- Script
- Where a schema is a generic structured knowledge representation — a slot-and-filler bundle that may or may not be temporally ordered — a script is specifically the temporally and causally ordered schema: this happens, then this, then this, with each step setting up the preconditions for the next, and with each role available to be filled by different actors on different occasions.
This sourceIntroduces the script as a temporally and causally ordered knowledge structure with roles, props, and default fillers; the restaurant script is its canonical example.
