Development psych cognitive (Piaget)
14 important questions on Development psych cognitive (Piaget)
What is a schema?
A schema is a psychological structure (primary unit thereof) for an organized way to understand a certain experience (interaction with surroundings).
It changes with age and experience:
- In first instance based on action (motor patterns)
- Later more mentally-oriented (thinking)
What is the difference between adaptation and organization?
Internal rewiring of schema’s, independent of interaction with surroundings; solely due to development of the CNS --> reaching, grabbing, pincer grasp
Adaptation:
Build schema’s and adapt them by direct interaction with surroundings
Subprocesses to acquire new schema’s: assimilation & accommodation
What are two ways of adaptation? Can you explain them?
- Assimilation
- Accommodation
Assimilation: use current schema’s to interpret what has been experienced, add new info to existing schema’s by experience, used when there is equilibrium.
Accommodation: adapting old schema’s and forming new ones that better fit what has been experienced, evoked by disequilibrium.
