Have you defined all of them?

No. What does schema mean in terms of psychology?

OpenStudy (littlediva12459):

um a diagram or a scheme

OpenStudy (littlediva12459):

or a pattern i think

OpenStudy (aveline):

That's just its general definition. Its definition in psychology is: "a mental concept that informs a person about what to expect from a variety of experiences and situations. Schemas are developed based on information provided by life experiences and are then stored in memory. Our brains create and use schemas as a short cut to make future encounters with similar situations easier to navigate."
