CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When the child encounters a horse, they might assimilate this information and immediately call the animal a dog. The process of accommodation then allows the child to adapt the existing schema to incorporate the knowledge that some four-legged animals are horses.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, older children can infer that if John is taller than Mary, and Mary is taller than Sue, then John is taller than Sue. This form of reasoning is called Transitive Inference. Older children also understand that a grocery store will contain more fruit than apples.

Detailed explanation-3: -In child development, examples of assimilation might include an infant learning sensorimotor skills. As the child learns new ways to move and pick up objects, they incorporate this knowledge into their current worldview. Another example is a child learning math in school.
