? States refer to the conditions or the
appearances in which things or persons can be
found between transformations.
Cont¡­
? Assimilation is how humans perceive and
adapt to new information.
? Accommodation is the process of taking new
information in one's environment and altering
pre-existing schemas in order to fit in the new
informa
? Piaget proposed four stages of cognitive
development: the sensorimotor,
preoperational, concrete operational and
formal operational period.
