Definition

Schank’s dynamic memory model (Schank, 1982) was designed to capture knowledge of specific experiences. Schank’s memory organization packets (MOPs) and Kolodner’s E-MOPs (episodic MOPS) (Kolodner, 1983) provide templates about typical scenes. For a restaurant scene these might identify “being seated,” “ordering,” and “paying.”
