Question

Which activity is one of the two adaptation processes proposed by Piaget in his theory of cognitive development?

Answer 1

Assimilation and Accommodation are the two processes. Equilibrium occurs when a child's schemas can deal with most new information through assimilation. However, an unpleasant state of disequilibrium occurs when new information cannot be fitted into existing schemas (assimilation).

Equilibration is the force which drives the learning process as we do not like to be frustrated and will seek to restore balance by mastering the new challenge (accommodation). Once the new information is acquired the process of assimilation with the new schema will continue until the next time we need to make an adjustment to it.

Answer 2

Assimilation and Accommodation.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Jean Piaget, adaptation refers to the ability of adapting new information with the old one. To do so, the adaption process has two processes: assimilation and accommodation.

Assimilation is when the person takes the information of the situation they perceive and then try to fit it with the existing cognitive structure.

Accommodation is when the person not only adapt they new information with old one, it also implies the change of a cognitive structures, the acceptance of the new information as own, it implies a change of the cognitive state.
