Based on my prior knowledge‚ logic‚ and reasoning‚ by looking at skeletal remains we are able

Examples of Piagetian Assimilation and Accommodation 1. A child seeing a zebra for the first time and calling it a horse. The child assimilates this information into her schema for a horse.

Psychological Imprinting: How does it work? Have you ever met a person who has raised a non-domesticated animal as a pet?
