Interpreting environment and experiences in light of the knowledge and experience we already have.
We are building on our own comprehension.
Schemes are essential building blocks and they are modified while interacting with environment.
Many schemes might be developed simultaneously.

Equilibration
The dynamic process of moving between states of cognitive disequilibrium and equilibrium.
- cognitive equilibrium - we are constantly seeking to understand!
- we never attain perfect, complete, and permanent understanding of everything
- the normal state of mind is one of disequilibrium—or rather a state of ‘moving equilibrium’
22
Reflective abstraction
- we notice something in the environment, then we reflect on it
- relate it to our current cognitive structures
- As a result of reflection, we modify our current cognitive structures.
