Q

Assimiliation

A

incorporate new experiences into their existing schemas making it stronger

16
Q

Accomidation

A

Modify schemas to be applied to old and new experiences

ex. shoulder isn’t nipple, change how to work w/it

17
Q

Equilibrium

A

balance between child’s present understanding and new experiences

18
Q

Sensorimotor Period

A

Process of adaptation where infants gain knowledge about the world coordinating sensory perceptions and simple motor responses

  1. exercise reflex schema: control 7 coordinate reflex present at birth
  2. Primary Circular reactions: baby directs to their own parts of bodies
19
Q

Schema

A

BASIC WAYS BABY BECOMES COORDINATED W/SOCIAL WORLD.
