=====Jean Piaget's Theory of Schema=====
#REDIRECT [[Piaget's theory#Assimilation and Accommodation]]
 
Jean Piaget proposed an alternative theory of Schema based on the two concepts: Assimilation and Accommodation. Piaget defined assimilation as the process that humans use to internalize novel and unfamiliar information by using previously learned information to make sense of it. In order to assimilate, Piaget defined a second cognitive process that served to integrate new information into memory by altering pre-existing schematic networks to fit novel concepts, what he referred to as Accommodation.
