Nine-month-old Joshua is given a stuffed toy which is too large for him to hold in his hand or place in his mouth. Joshua lets the stuffed toy fall to the ground and shows no further interest in it. How would Piaget explain this behavior? Since Joshua was unable to achieve cognitive equilibrium, he applied accommodation to this new experience. Since Joshua was unable to achieve cognitive equilibrium, he applied assimilation to this new experience. Joshua wanted to play with the stuffed toy, but he doesn't have the visual ability to perceive the size of the toy. Since Joshua couldn't hold onto the stuffed toy, he remained in a state of disequilibrium.

    the answer is: Since Joshua was unable to achieve cognitive equilibrium, he applied assimilation to this new experience

    Assimilation is the process of analyzing and incorporating new information around us (including objects) into our pre - existing knowledge.

    At his age, Joshua is in a common period when most infants tend to try to get things into their mouth as their effort to taste and understand the texture of different objects. After trying to do this to the stuffed toys, Joshua understand that he can't do it to this particular object. After assimilating this situation to his mind, he throw the toys away and lose interest.
