Accommodation

Accommodation (from lat. accomodatio — adaptation to something) — in the concept of intelligence by Jean Piaget — a property, a side of the adaptation process. The content of accommodation, according to Piaget, is the adaptation of behavior patterns to a situation that requires certain forms of activity from the body. As a result of accommodation, the existing scheme changes. Piaget emphasizes the fundamental unity of biological and cognitive accommodation, the essence of which is the process of adaptation to the various requirements put forward to the individual by the objective world. Accommodation is inseparable from assimilation, in which they are permanent attributes of any act of adaptation.
