schemas and scripts (in memory terms)

Scripts are a subset of schemata. Scripts combine the episodic and semantic knowledge of schemata with procedural
knowledge. Scripts guide our interpretation and comprehension of daily experiences.
Example: riding public transportation, going to a restaurant

We very rarely remember things word-for-word, with the exception of things we’ve practiced many times, like for instance song lyrics. Memory tends to be reconstructive, and we are more likely to remember the gist of something. We use
pre-existing schemata and scripts to help us to remember information. Usually these schemata and scripts are helpful, but sometimes they can lead to memory distortions.

I hope this makes it clearer to you... Best wishes.
