accommodation

Examples of accommodation in the following topics:

• Human Language Development

  • Jean Piaget's theory of language development suggests that children use both assimilation and accommodation to learn language.
  • Accommodation is the process of changing one's schema to adapt to the new environment.

• Specific Learning Disorder

  • Teachers, parents, and schools can work together to create a tailored plan for intervention and accommodation to aid an individual in successfully becoming an independent learner.

• Defining Thoughts

  • An individual accommodates the new objects with his or her prior knowledge and understanding (i.e., revisits existing cognitive schemas, perceptions, or understanding so that new information can be incorporated).

• Vision: The Visual System, the Eye, and Color Vision

  • These cues range from the convergence of our eyes and accommodation of the lens to optical flow and motion.
