Schema is actually the metal representation of the object in the head. Schema is formed from the very childhood. The mental picture of the object is called schema. When the object is seen in the head, the mental picture of the object is the schema of that particular object. The schema theory states that any person is likely to have a mental schema of everything. If a person remembers the schema of the professor, then when the person comes the schema starts playing. Then all the previous exposures to a professor comes into play and the way they behaved and what kind of behavior is suits them comes into play (Augoustinos, & Innes, 1990).
