Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Piaget conceived equilibration as an ongoing process that refines and transforms mental structures, constituting the basis of cognitive development. More equilibration tends to occur as an individual is transitioning from one major developmental stage to the next.

Detailed explanation-2: -Equilibration involves the assimilation of information to fit with an individual’s own existing mental schemas and the accommodation of information by adapting it their way of thinking. For example, a child loves the soups that their family eats on a regular basis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Process Towards Equilibration For example, young children may develop a schema for cars that includes anything with wheels. Over time, they will refine the schema to eliminate things like wagons and bicycles. Eventually, they will discover the differences between cars and other vehicles, such as buses and trucks.

Detailed explanation-4: -Piaget believed that children’s thinking emerged through infancy and that each new experience or challenge assisted in the process as part of the interplay between nature (genes) and nurture (environmental influences, such as experience, materials and opportunities).
