ABSTRACT
The theory of information integration seeks to develop a cognitive theory of everyday life in something like its own terms. Hence the prototypical task involves judgments about persons: judgments of predisposition, motivation, affection, blame, and so on. That such judgments involve schemas has been attractive to many writers. Schemas are not explanations, however, so much as what is to be explained. Without theory and methods for schema analysis, progress has been handicapped.
