Piaget's theory refers to the cognitive development theory proposed by Jean Piaget, which suggests that children progress through four stages of cognitive development: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational.
Assimilation is when individuals incorporate new information into their existing knowledge or schema.
Accommodation occurs when individuals adjust their existing knowledge or schema to fit new information.
Equilibration: Equilibration refers to the process of achieving balance between assimilation and accommodation in order to adapt to new experiences.
