Abstract

Reading is a complex activity ruled by the human brain in which previous mental schemata play a key role. When reading, a series of schemata or «screens» are activated simultaneously while the reader accepts or rejects the options that are presented to him. Several schemata remain open at the same time, while others are closed, restructured or rejected. It is possible that schema theory may enable us to understand a bit more a process in which memory, recognition, experience, previous readings, etc. have an outstanding role in order to decipher a text, that is to say, to read.
