Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assimilation and accommodation are both part of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development. Assimilation involves integrating new information into existing cognitive schemas, frameworks, or understandings, while accommodation involves altering one's existing schemas or creating new ones in response to new information. Both processes are ways of relating new information to prior knowledge, rather than involving specific stages of cognitive development (like concrete operational thought), specific types of thought processes (like abstract thought or inductive reasoning), or specific skills (like oral communication).
