Answer to Question 1

a . Scripts are knowledge structures that represent substantial information about a concept, its attributes, and its relationships to other concepts.
b. Scripts are knowledge structures that define situations and guide behavior. They can be thought of as schemas for behavioral sequences or events.
c. Both operate according to the automatic system. They allow us to more easily categorize incoming information, to more readily access relevant memories and other data, and to better remember schema-consistent information. As a result, schemas and scripts both guide behavior and decision-making. Without schemas and scripts we would need to re-learn what a car or a dog or a restaurant, for example, is all about each and every time we encountered them.
