Title: Harry learns the schema for a “dog” by playing with his golden retriever. On a Post by: colleen on May 8, 2012 Harry learns the schema for a “dog” by playing with his golden retriever. On a trip to a farm, he sees a
collie and points, saying “Doggie!” Then he notices a lamb, and says “Doggie!” Explain Harry’s schema using Piaget’s concepts of assimilation and accommodation. Title: Re: Harry learns the schema for a “dog” by playing with his golden retriever. On a Post by: ThePsychic on May 10, 2012 Harry first acquired the schema doggie by playing with a golden retriever.
Seeing a collie, Harry called it doggie, illustrating assimilation, or fitting new information into an existing schema or mental category. Seeing a lamb, Harry also called it doggie. However a lamb is not a dog so Harry will have to accommodate and learn a new concept. |
