Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget defined assimilation as the process by which new objects, events, experiences or information are incorporated into existing schemes. A scheme is a cognitive structure or mental framework that helps organize and interpret information. Naïve idealism is not a term used by Piaget, while the law of conservation refers to Piaget's theory of how children understand the amount of a substance remains the same even after a transformation of shape or arrangement.
