Abstract
An experiential learning model, the learning cycle (the basic human adaptive process of reflecting on experience then generating and testing hypotheses), provides a model for understanding both script formation in childhood and the updating and changing of script throughout life from a constructivist/cocreative perspective. Changes in the theory of script are reviewed together with recent studies on children's natural learning through experience, language acquisition, meaning making, and experimentation. Script development is considered as a normal, resourceful process of human psychological growth in which story making plays an important role.
