- (A) Piaget described schemas (the ways we think about the world) as going through a process of
assimilation and accommodation. When we encounter something new in the world, we first try to
use our existing schemas to understand it (assimilation). If that doesn’t work, we may have to
change or expand our schemas in order to deal with the new object, event, or idea
(accommodation). We learn through accommodation, as our schemas change and become more
sophisticated.
