Four basic Cognitive Concepts
equilibriumassimilation accommodationschema
schema
Cognitive or mental structures by which individuals intellectually adapt to
organize the environment
Believes that mind
Schema/SchemataSingular/Plural
Schematathought
Concept of categories
Index FileRepresents
Schema
Schemata Process and identify incoming stimuli

WORK AS A VET
DOGS, CATS & HORSE’S
HAVE 4 LEGS
ANIMALS ARE INTERESTING CREATURES
Ahh!It’s a Dog
It’s a Dog
Initial schema child's begins to develop an understanding of what the
dog is from a picture book
“Jean look at that animal. What is that
“Ahm!It is a dog”
Jean looked into the field and saw a cow (new stimulus)
He had never been saw a cow

Concept Change
AssimilationIs the cognitive process by which a person integrates new perceptual,
motor conceptual matter into existing schemata or pattern of behavior
Viewed as the cognitive process of placing(classifying)new stimulus events into existing schemata
AccommodationNew stimulus
Assimilate existing schema
Tries to Stimulus cannot be place or assimilated into schema
sometimes
Characteristics of a stimulus does not approximate required Childs available schemata
What can he/she do?
1.He can create new schema into which he can place the stimulus ( a new index
card on the file)
2.He can modify an existing schema so that the stimulus will fit to it.

Schemata are constructed with experience
Stimuli are “forced” to

Assimilation Accommodation
Translate incoming information into a form they can understand
Adapt current knowledge structures in response to new experience
Example:person always assimilated stimuli
And never accommodatedResult to:

The cow forever remain a dog
