according to the cognitive approach, our knowledge is organised into schemas.
what are schemas? 
mental structures that contain our knowledge about something
an individuals schemas develop as a result of our experiences
the use of schemas allows us to process new info more quickly, we can interpret info based on the knowledge in our schema
BUT sometimes schemas can lead to inaccuracies in perception or memory as people may interpret new information incorrectly based on their expectations
