Piaget proposes that adaptation involves building schemes through direct interaction with the environment.
Assimilation: Using current schema (mental framework) to interpret information
Accommodation: Creating new schema or adjusting old schema because the new information doesn’t fit current schema
Equilibrium: State of balance where schemas match experiences
Disequilibrium: State of imbalance or confusion where new information doesn’t fit existing schemas
