Yanamarie's confusion is a result of her gender schemas, which are cognitive frameworks that organize gender-related information. Her gender schema led her to believe that doctors are men and nurses are women, which she realized wasn't true when she met Dr. Linda Palben and Jasper Hanson, who challenged her preconceptions.
