Detailed explanation-2: -Adaptation through Assimilation – When new information is taken from the outside world and is incorporated into a previously existing schema, it is called assimilation. This process is thought to be subjective, as people tend to modify information or experience that should match with their pre-existing beliefs.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -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.
