Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget believed that children build mental structures called schemes to help them understand and navigate their world. Initially, these schemes are based on reflexes (such as sucking and grasping), but as the child develops, they start to create new schemes by observing and experimenting with their environment. Learning about pushing and pulling, and how they impact the world around them, would fall under the development of new schemes.
