Detailed explanation-1: -According to Piaget, cognitive development occurs from two processes: adaptation and equilibrium. Adaptation involves the child’s changing to meet situational demands. Adaptation involves two sub‐processes: assimilation and accommodation. Assimilation is the application of previous concepts to new concepts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Piaget proposed four major stages of cognitive development, and called them (1) sensorimotor intelligence, (2) preoperational thinking, (3) concrete operational thinking, and (4) formal operational thinking.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensorimotor stage (0–2 years old) Preoperational stage (2–7 years old) Concrete operational stage (7–11 years old) Formal operational stage (11 years old through adulthood)
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -When a child’s experience matches what they understand they are in a state of equilibrium. If they come across a new situation or task that they do not understand, Piaget called this disequilibrium.
