Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary, but students must demonstrate an understanding that assimilation involves
keeping one's old ideas, whereas accommodation involves changing them.

Answer to Question 2

With assimilation, we interpret new experiences so that they fit in with our existing ideas. With
accommodation, we have to change our old ideas as a result of new experiences. Answers will vary,
but similarities include the fact that new information puts old ideas into disequilibrium and the goal is to return to equilibrium. Differences include that changing of old ideas is a necessity for
accommodation but not assimilation.
