Assimilation and accommodation are two fundamental processes in cognitive development, introduced by Jean Piaget, that explain how learners adapt to new information. Assimilation refers to the process of integrating new information into existing cognitive structures or schemas. In other words, when a learner encounters something new, they try to understand it using what they already know. For example, in the context of learning the measurement of time, a child who already understands the concept of a "day" may assimilate the idea of "hour" by relating it to smaller parts of the day
