Great minds in psychology: Jean Piaget


Jean Piaget (1896-1980): Swiss constructive psychologist. The theory of cognitive stages of Piaget is divided into:
• Adaptation of new information management in the light of what is already known
§                 Assimilation: incorporate new information into existing cognitive structure
§                Accommodation: change cognitive structures to include new information
• Balancing: striving for balance, determines the change between assimilation and accommodation
• Organization: categories to observe the characteristics they have in common the members of that class are created
