Piaget

5. Tweaking old schemes or building new ones when new experiences reveal that one's current schemes do not perfectly describe the external environment
7. A specific way of understanding experiences
8. When the brain is using schemes to understand the external environment more that it is changing or modifying current schemes
9. A young child using his schemes to understand his external environment
11. This type of behaviour is the result of the simultaneous combination of schemes to address a problem
12. This Reaction is the repetition of an originally random behaviour which eventually leads to the adaptation of schemes

1. The cognitive discomfort that a child feels during periods where their cognitive development is fast
2. Creating and using schemes that apply to one's external world
3. This approach provides opportunities to tweak current schemes by preforming a repetitive action slightly differently and examining the results
4. A baby's first schemes are patterns of these
6. A process where schemes are linked with other schemes to form networks
10. The large amount of new schemes created in this stage make it the most complicated stage of development
