AP Psychology
Unit 6 – Developmental Psychology
Topic 6.3
How would you counter Piaget's belief that assimilation precedes accommodation in cognitive development?
Children always make sense of new information by comparing it with previous knowledge first.
Children skip steps depending upon environmental stimuli causing an imbalance between assimilation and accommodation.
Accommodation is dependent on a child's genetic makeup rather than individual experience.
Children may modify their schemas before integrating new information into existing ones based on the complexity of new experience.
