When we stereotype individuals based on "stock" images that we have created about certain types of people such as ‘absentminded professor' and ‘shady lawyer' we are engaging in?

Schematic reasoning refers to the process of misinterpration upon a certain information because we follow a fixed schema as a generalization. Schematic Reasoning does not necessarily would always be wrong, but it would definitely make us more bias since it make us create a judgement without obtaining all of the necessary information.
