Abstract
This book is about schema theory, about how memory structures self-organize and how they use contextual information to guide perception. The schema concept has origins in philosophy (E.Kant), neurology (H.Head) and psychology (F.C. Bartlett, U. Neisser, J. Piaget) and is now generally accepted as a fundamental cornerstone in AI (Artificial Intelligence), cognitive science, and brain research [1.6].
