Answer to Question 1

Answer: Schemas are cognitive structures that we use to organize our knowledge of the social world. Schemas are adaptive in providing continuity and in helping us relate new experiences to old experiences. They enable us to minimize cognitive effort. They are especially useful when we encounter ambiguous information, for they give us a cognitive structure with which to interpret the confusing information.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
