Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget believed that children learn by using assimilation (fitting new experiences into existing cognitive schemas) and accommodation (adjusting existing cognitive schemas in response to new experiences) to adjust their cognitive schemes. Object permanence and conservation are specific concepts within Piaget's theory that relate to a child's understanding of physical objects and quantity. Habituation and sensation and perception are concepts related to cognitive and sensory processes, but they are not central to Piaget's theory of cognitive development.
