Summary/Abstract: Narrative scripts organize the interpretation of each individual’s experience. New gained knowledge is filer out by these structures, largely shaped by the environment. Therefore, they may be conditioned to some extent by culture. There is an analysis of three cognitive scripts of Maya Tzotzil women from Los Altos de Chiapas area in Mexico: traditional orthodox, traditional unorthodox and anti-traditional. At the same time, there is an interpretation of these constructions, taking into account the cultural specificity.
