Specific example:
Assimilation is
when new infor-
mation is taken in

so we can make
sense of the in-

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.
