Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Piaget believed that schemas are important in the process of cognitive development. As children have an experience, they develop a schema to explain it and organise it within their brain. The more experiences have, the more complex and numerous their schemas become.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Piaget, children are born with a very basic mental structure (genetically inherited and evolved) on which all subsequent learning and knowledge are based. Schemas are the basic building blocks of such cognitive models, and enable us to form a mental representation of the world.
