Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The processes of assimilation and accommodation are central to Piaget's cognitive development theory, which emphasized the ways in which children adapt and modify their understanding of the world through these two processes. Assimilation involves incorporating new information into existing schemas, while accommodation involves modifying existing schemas to fit new information.  Rovee-Collier's infant memory theory, the Harlows' attachment theory, and Erikson's psychosocial development theory do not involve these specific processes in their frameworks.
