Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "mental operations" refers to cognitive actions that can be performed on objects or ideas, and these are usually acquired during the concrete operational period of cognitive development. The other terms listed (schemes, accommodations, and assimilations) are also related to cognitive development, but they do not specifically refer to mental operations. Schemes are patterns of thought or behavior, accommodations are the process of adjusting existing schemas to fit new information, and assimilations are the process of incorporating new information into existing schemas.
