[00:00:00]Hey guys, and welcome [music] back.

[00:00:01]Today, we're learning about Piaget's schema theory. The first step of this theory is assimilation, but what is assimilation? [music] Assimilation is where the child has a schema or a theory about something.

[00:00:13][music] For example, child may always have milk in a red beaker, so they'll associate milk with the red beaker.

[00:00:20]Next, we have equilibrium, >> [music] >> which is where everything already fits into these schemas, and they're all in subcategories in our brain. Then, we have disequilibrium.

[00:00:31]This is where where a new thing does not fit into [music] the existing schemas we have. For example, the child gets the milk in a different color beaker, which will [music] then teach them that it can come in any color beaker. And this is called accommodation.

[00:00:49]>> [music] >> So, they are they have their um schema.

[00:00:53]Everything fits, [music] something does not fit, and then they accommodate to the information, which just means that they create a new schema to fit everything. So, obviously, now they know milk can come in any beaker.

[00:01:09]That's all for today, folks. Goodbye.
