Question

When baby Stephanie was first given a cup to drink out of, rather than her bottle, she tried to use it just like a bottle, but kept pouring milk on herself. After a few tries, however she was able to drink out of the cup with minimal spilling. According to Piaget this would be an example of: A. accommodation B. classical conditioning C. adaptation D. equilibration

Answer 1

(A). Accommodation

Step-by-step explanation:

Accommodation explains what happens when new knowledge or experiences cause you to change your current schemas(Schemes are the techniques that children employ during adaptation). Instead of making the new information work in an existing system, you change the schema to suit the new information.

Accommodation is a Part of the Adaptation Process.

After a few tries, however she was able to drink out of the cup with minimal spilling. According to Piaget this would be an example of ACCOMMODATION.

Accommodation explains how we later adapt our systems to integrate new experiences more effectively.
