**15.2 Accommodation**

Accommodation is a substantial process that requires the learner to reshape existing knowledge due to the acquisition of recent information. An adaptation occurs when preexisting knowledge is altered to accommodate newly learned information. Thus, accommodation involves creating new schemas.

## **15.3 Cognitive learning**

Cognitive learning emphasizes helping learners learn how to use their brains to their full potential, where experience leads to changes in knowledge. The formation of insights and latent learning are both components of cognitive learning. The cognitive theory asserts that emotions and behavior are largely influenced by thoughts. Several factors influence learning, such as problem-solving skills, memory retention, thinking skills, and the perception of what is learned.
