Frames, according to many
psychologists,
linguists and
cognitive scientists, are mental structures that are used to facilitate the thinking process. We use frames to provide categories and a structure to our thoughts. An example of this concept is
George Lakoff's "Dont Think of an Elephant!" Lakoff, in teaching his
Cognitive Science 101 course at the
University of California, Berkeley gives his students a directive:
DO NOT THINK OF AN ELEPHANT! According to Lakoff, it is impossible not to think of an
elephant. The mere mention of the word "elephant" provokes an image and an accompanying frame.
