-===== Script Theory =====
-Script theory, developed by [[http://www.rogerschank.com/|Roger Schank]], is orientated mostly on structure of knowledge, especially on representation of more complex event sequences in memory.
-There are several definitions of scriptst like a coherent sequence of events expected by an individual in a particular context, involving him either as participant or as an observer (Christopher Puto), or a “mental picture plus caption” representing the action sequences, participants, and physical objects found in a situation (Robert Abelson).
-These structures are called scripts and represent elements indicative of repeated experiences
-of events. According to script theory - that is a specific
-elaboration of Minsky’s frame theory (Bower, Black &
-Turner, 1979:178) - a script consists of a sequence of
-goal directed actions that are causally and temporally
-ordered and includes the relevant people, objects and
-locations (Sutherland, 1995:413; Bower  et al,
-:178).
-Experimental evidence of the psychological reality of
-schemata and scripts has accumulated since
-(Vosniadou, 1996:403; Eysenck, 1994:316, 317;
-Searleman & Herrmann, 1994:125). Modern versions
-of the schema theory play a prominent role in current
-theories of memory (Eysenck, 1994:316). Of specific
-importance for this article, is that theorists within the
-broad field of cognitive science propose that thinking
-involves the manipulation of internal representations
-(mental models) of the external world (Matlin,
-:10). The schema concept, as developed by
-Bartlett in 1932, still forms an integral part of the para-
-digm of cognitive psychology.
