Schema

• a mental codification of experience that
  includes a particular organized way of perceiving
  cognitively and responding to a complex situation
  or set of stimuli
• Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

Nature of Background Knowledge

• Knowledge is stored in schematic background
  networks or in a "unified system of background
  relationships," not consciously present to us due
  to the constraints of short term memory. Hence,
  "visible parts stand for the rest of the schema"
  (54).
• The deeper and broader the networks, the
  stronger the ability to evoke substantive
  understandings (54).
• Hirsch, E.D. Cultural Literacy What Every
  American Needs to Know. Boston Houghton
  Mifflin, 1987.
