A script is a pre-established mental representation of a sequence of events. When we go to the dentist's office, we adhere to a script, which includes things like checking in, waiting in the waiting room, getting called back, having our teeth cleaned, and so on. This allows us to anticipate what will happen next and feel more comfortable in an otherwise stressful situation.
