I believe that schemes were thrown onto the breakfast club about people like Brian with the intentions that he was someone that was smart and that he would do everything for them as a push over. According to Bargh,Chen, and Burrows recent activities and experience are likely to increase and influence our judgements based on prior times. (1996) If you see a movie where someone was kidnapped then the next time you see ambiguous situations were children are interacting you are more likely to think that a kidnaping is happening. (Barg,Chen, nd Burrows, 1996). As the schemes grow priming-recent experiences increase the usability of the trait or concept(Bargh and Pietromonaco, 1982) According to this study as people are more taking to believing and seeing something occur in front of them , it will be in their unconscious mind were it would come to the person automatically to think of someone as that because of past

Humans live and operate by using past experiences, which enables them to think in the present and about the future.

Mental representations are how we store images in our memory, what we already know affects the way we define events and store knowledge. The structures and processes involved in the storage and retrieval of information comes in the three stages; encoding, storage and recovery.

Schema theory proposes that what we already know influences the outcome of information processing. Piaget had three factors to the cognitive theory and the schema theory happened to be one of them. He described the schema as a cohesive, repeatable action sequence possessing component actions that are tightly interconnected and
