Specific example:
Assimilation is
when new infor-
mation is taken in
and fit within an
existing scheme
so we can make
sense of the in-
formation. With as-
similation we may
have little under-
standing due to
lack of experi-
ences so informa-
tion is categorized
based off of what
we already know
and understand.
We categorize the
new information
and change it
to fit within the
existing scheme.

Accommodation
refers to the
changing of a
scheme when we
recieve new
information. As
new information is
taken in through
new experiences
we are better able
to understand the
information thus
changing the
scheme to better
fit the new
information. For
example as the
child ages and
interacts more
with their grandpa
they are able to
understand that
not every old man
with a mustache is
grandpa.
My personal expe-
rience with accom-
modation would
be the idea that
every church that
clapped, raised
their arms, or
played loud mu-
sic during worship
must be church

ple falling to the
ground, and filled
with crazy peo-
ple. I was fright-
ened by the idea
of people dancing
around and hol-
lering while prais-
ing Jesus since
I came from a
catholic upbring-
ing and only an
organ played the
hymns as the
congregation sang
along in unison.
Something as sim-
ple as raising
your hands dur-
ing worship would
have been ex-
treme in that set-
ting. As I have
aged an attend-
ed many different
types of churches,
with many differ-
ent types of wor-
ship my scheme of
how to act during
worship has also
changed. Watch-
ing people clap,
dance, or shout
during songs at
church I no longer
view as extreme
and now see it
