Answer: For Piaget's process of accommodation it is when you change schema to accommodate new info.
example: Once you learn about something you modify your understanding of a concept to include specific categories. For example, when a child sees a dog, it has four legs and fur. But when they see a cat they create a new schema for cats.
Answer Process of assimilation adds on to pre-existing information/experiences.
example: going back to our cat-dog example. When they develop a concept of a dog as being a four-legged thing with fur, when they see a cat they will place the cat in the same category as a dog and be like "that's a dog" to anything that fits their concept of a dog.
