Assimilation and Accommodation Piaget (1954) described learning as occurring through a process of cognitive constructivism, or building an internal system of knowledge through interactions with the environment.
The two cars will have perceptual differences, such as a metal finish on Tyrone's car and a plastic finish on the day-care car. Thus, only some of the units for color, size, and shape of the object will be the same, while the features that differ will activate slightly different patterns of input and connectivity (McClelland & Rumelhart, 1986). The configuration of internal activation will therefore be similar for the two cars, but not identical. , assimilation). But the differences in color, shape, or texture will add activation from input units.
Bottle”), so that each experience with a bottle is not an unknown and perplexing event. Despite variations in color, texture, or shape of the actual object, the representation for “bottle’’ will be strongly activated and the child will respond to the object in a predictable and adaptive manner. The representation is thus different from the actual object because input from the object is integrated into the existing network. This enables the specific event or experience to be interpreted according to all prior knowledge that the system has already constructed and that can be reactivated within the network (Rumelhart & McClelland, 1986).
