Mikey is three years old, and he has a black and white cat at home. While on his first camping trip, Mikey sees a skunk for the first time. He thinks the skunk looks like his cat and tries to pet the skunk, but the skunk sprays him. Mikey’s mother explains that that was not a cat but a skunk. Mikey now knows the difference between a cat and a skunk. Mikey’s new understanding--that a skunk is different than a cat--can be best understood in terms of Piaget’s concept of:

options:

accommodation

organization

assimilation

an operation

Solution

Piaget\'s Concept :

These concept is related Development Intelligence ( Intelligence: It is a basic life function that helps an organism adapt to its enviornments)

Incase of infants and children explore their world, their brains respond by creating scheme.   Scheme are cognitive structures organized pattern of action or thought that people construct to interpret their experiences

According to Mikey have Assimilation and accomodation. It means that it is unbalanced (confused ) state can be resolved through the process of organization and adaption

Assimilation: it is the process by which we interpret new experience in terms of schemes or cognitive structures.

Accomodation: it is the process of modifying exisiting schemes to better to fit new experiences

Piaget belived that all new experiences are greeted with a mix of assimilation and accomodation.
