Detailed explanation-1: -Building ‘schemes’ through direct interaction with the environment is known as adaptation. It consists of two complementary activities: Just as human beings adapt to the environment, their thinking also adapts to the changes they experience.
Detailed explanation-2: -Piaget argued that cognitive and intellectual development happens through a process of adaptation. That is, children learn by adjusting to the world. They do this through assimilation, accommodation and equilibration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Psychologist Jean Piaget defined accommodation as the cognitive process of revising existing cognitive schemas, perceptions, and understanding so that new information can be incorporated. This happens when the existing schema (knowledge) does not work, and needs to be changed to deal with a new object or situation.
Detailed explanation-5: -Piaget used the term schema (plural is schemata) to refer to the mental structures which help individuals to adapt to and organize their environment. He believed that the mental structures construct the meaning of the new experience and facilitate one’s cognitive; adaptation to the new experience or environment.
