Answer 1

Answer:

Adapt

Explanation:

Piaget was a Swiss psychologist who worked on child development theory. He worked on the two processes called equilibrium and adaptation. Adaptation is a process in which children meet the changing in the environment.

This process also includes assimilation and accommodation. In these concepts, the assimilation tells about the application of the previous concepts to the new concepts. Accommodation is related to the alteration of the previous concepts in altering to the new information.
