Detailed explanation-1: -Assimilation refers to a part of the adaptation process initially proposed by Jean Piaget. 2 Through assimilation, we take in new information or experiences and incorporate them into our existing ideas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Assimilation. Piaget defined assimilation as the cognitive process of fitting new information into existing cognitive schemas, perceptions, and understanding. Overall beliefs and understanding of the world do not change as a result of the new information.
Detailed explanation-3: -Piaget believes that a schema involves a category of knowledge and the procedure to obtain that knowledge. As individuals gain new experiences, the new information is modified, and gets added to, or alter pre-existing schemas.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory, “Fitting new information into existing schemes” is known as ‘Assimilation’ as assimilation refers to the: process of taking in information into our previously existing schemas.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hence, it is concluded that modifying incoming new information to fit into already existing mental categories is called accomodation. Equilibration: Piaget believed that all children try to strike a balance between assimilation and accommodation, which is achieved through a mechanism Piaget called equilibration.
