Document Summary
How do we build and change schemas: adaptation- process by which we create new schemas and modify old ones, assimilation- not learning anything new but instead taking experiences and fitting them into preexisting schemas. The mind is like file folders, we file new information into old files: accommodation- making new schemas and modifying old ones. Disequilibrium- out of balanced and confused causes us to change schematic structures so that we can return to equilibrium: equilibration- back and forth equilibrium and disequilibrium. Requires a change in thinking to go back to equilibrium. The main impetus for learning new information is disequilibrium: organization- internal rearranging of schemas. Similar thoughts come together: schemas become more accurate, this continues throughout development. Piaget"s stages of development: sensorimotor period (birth-2 years)- a lot of cognitive development takes place here which is incredibly important for later development, sensorimotor period, motor behaviors lead to first schemas.
