"Sie deuten sie subjektiv aus und nehmen zumeist nicht einzelne Elemente wahr, sondern Konfigurationen. Diese dienen als „kognitive Schemata“ (Piaget, 1946) ***zur Handlungsorientierung.*** Im Verlauf ihres Lebens entwickeln Menschen eine Vielzahl solcher Schemata. Diese erweisen sich allerdings in neuen Lebenssituationen oft als untauglich, weshalb dann neue Muster gebildet werden müssen."
So far, I've translated this as "activity-based, cognitive schemata," but I'm not very satisfied with that. Any other ideas?

upon / around which action can be based
I am sure this could be polished, but this is what is meant. Cognitive schemata that allow a person to orientate their actions in a structured, meaningful manner.

as guidance for practical action
Just parsing. "Orientierung" gives you the "direction" (North, East ..).
