What is adaptation in Piaget theory?

Adaptation is the ability to adjust to new information and experiences. Learning is essentially adapting to our constantly changing environment. Through adaptation, we are able to adopt new behaviors that allow us to cope with change.

What is an example of assimilation in psychology?

Assimilation involves fitting a new experience into an existing schema. For example, once a child has a schema for birds based on the types of birds they have seen in their garden, they are able to incorporate new types of birds (e.g. parrots, seagulls) into their existing bird schema.

What does assimilation and accommodation mean?

Assimilation is a process of adaptation by which new knowledge is taken into the pre-existing schema. Accommodation is a process of adaptation by which the pre-existing schema is altered in order to fit in the new knowledge.
