In Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, explain the process of 'Equilibration' when a child encounters new information that does not fit into their existing schema?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Correct Answer: Option B
Piaget's Model of Cognitive Adaptation:
- Assimilation: Integrating novel environmental information into preexisting cognitive schemas without altering them.
- Cognitive Disequilibrium: The state of cognitive conflict or mental imbalance experienced when new experiences contradict prior schemas.
- Accommodation: Modifying existing schemas or forming entirely new ones to adapt to conflicting new information.
- Equilibration: The self-regulatory biological drive that restores cognitive equilibrium by transitioning the child from disequilibrium to a higher, more stable intellectual structure.
