  1. Piaget

  2. To recap • Sensorimotor stage (birth - 2 years old) • Preoperational stage (ages 2-7) • Concrete operations (ages 7-11) • Formal operations (beginning at ages 11-15)–By this point, the child’s cognitive structures are like those of an adult and include conceptual reasoning.

  3. The schema • A schema is a picture of what we know about life at a particular point in time. • Based on our needs we either assimilate or accommodate

  4. Assimilation • An infant knows how to grab his favorite rattle and thrust it into his mouth.  - He’s got that schema down pat.  • He comes across some other object -- say daddy’s expensive watch, he easily learns to transfer his “grab and thrust” schema to the new object.  • This is assimilation, specifically assimilating a new object into an old schema.

  5. Accommodation • When our infant comes across another object again -- say a beach ball -- he will try his old schema of grab and thrust.  • This of course works poorly with the new object.  So the schema will adapt to the new object:  Perhaps, in this example, “squeeze and drool” would be an appropriate title for the new schema.  • This is called accommodation, specifically accommodating an old schema to a new object.

  6. Adaptation • Assimilation and accommodation are the two sides of adaptation • Adaptation is also known as learning • Piaget sees it as a fundamentally biological process.  Even one’s grip has to accommodate to a stone, while clay is assimilated into our grip.

  7. Equilibrium • Assimilation and accommodation work like pendulum swings at advancing our understanding of the world and our competency in it.  • According to Piaget, they are directed at a balance between the structure of the mind and the environment, at a certain congruency between the two, that would indicate that you have a good (or at least good-enough) model of the universe. 

  8. Handout • Read and take notes on the handout. • Complete the puzzle.

  9. Answers to handout puzzle. • The E and the 7.  The E must have an even number on the back -- that much is obvious.  the 7 is odd, so it cannot have a vowel on the other side -- that would be against the rule!  But the rule says nothing about what has to be on the back of a consonant such as the K, nor does it say that the 4 must have a vowel on the other side

  10. Activity • Read the story provided twice. • Put the story that you read in the center of the table. • Rewrite the story that you read on a piece of paper. Include as much detail as possible. • Put your version of the story in the center of the table. • Repeat the process with someone else’s version of a different story.

  11. Reflection • How did you use accommodation and assimilation in this activity?
