Document Summary
See information through our senses and when we have repeated exposure to these sensations we begin to recognize them and then we have a perception of what it means. Sensation the product of interaction between information and the sensory receptors the eyes, ears, tongue, nostrils and skin. Perception the interoperation of what is sensed. Schemes in piaget"s theory, actions or mental representations that organize information. Assimilation piagetian concept involving incorporation of new information into existing schemes. Accommodation piagetian concept of adjusting schemes to fit new information and experience. Equilibrium a mechanism that piaget proposed to explain how children shift from one stage of thought to the next. Criticism of piaget: he puts age ranges for the periods of development, those stages have shown to be too broad, acts like changes are very abrupt. The role of culture and language the brain will not grow without it.
