Jean Piaget suggests that acquiring knowledge is done throughaction. In other words, committing an action leads to knowledge andknowledge leads to action. Piaget stated that an infant advancestheir cognitive development when they reach a certain point ofphysical maturation. By developing their understanding of the worldaround them, infants are able to cognitively mature. As they arefurther exposed to the world, infants will naturally undergoassimilation, in which they will utilize their acquired knowledgein order to understand the new knowledge that is bestowed uponthem. For example, a child who sees a cat for the first time mayrefer to it as a dog since it may have been the only animal theyhave encountered beforehand. A creature that walks on four legs, intheir mind, may be interpreted as a dog, as they have acquiredprevious knowledge that an animal who does not stand upright is acanine. Accommodation takes place when we alter our actions andbeliefs when exposed to a situation that either challenges orchanges our understanding. For example, an individual is told arather unsavory rumor about another individual. They may accept therumor as the truth and proceed to view the other individual as“undesirable”. However, the two individuals share an interaction,and it seems that the rumors were false. The misled individual thenchanges their view of the other individual, as they are quitedifferent from what they expected them to be. In short,accommodation has taken place. The process of accommodation is anessential practice, as it allows us to “fit in” with others andascertain new information presented to us throughout our lives.Schemes are our basic ways of understanding and functioning. Both aphysical and psychological concept, schemes allow us to interpretinformation from our world and how to choose the appropriatereaction.
