Equilibrium refers to the balance between a child's existing cognitive structures (schemata) and the new information or experiences they encounter. When children encounter new information that fits with their existing schemata, they achieve a state of equilibrium. However, if they encounter information that does not fit with their existing schemata, they experience cognitive conflict or disequilibrium. Through a process of adaptation, children will either modify their existing schemata to accommodate the new information (assimilation), or they will create new schemata to incorporate the new information (accommodation), eventually leading to a new state of equilibrium.
