TASK 4: ASSIMILATION AND ACCOMMODATION
Reading: Assimilation means one person categorizes an object into a concept that he has already known. Accommodation means that when one person cannot categorize an object into a concept he have already known, he will modify that concept and try to put that object into the concept.
Listening: The professor talks about his daughter. He said when her daughter was young; she always looked at the birds feeding outside of the window. And every time when she saw different birds with different sizes or colours, she will point that bird and shout “bird” “Bird”. Because in her mind, the concept of bird is something that is small-size and has wings, feather and can fly. One day the professor took her to zoo and saw an ostrich which is even taller than a person and cannot fly. When professor ask his daughter what is that animal. Her daughter kept silent. But finally, she said that that is a bird. In that case, his daughter changed the concept of bird and categorized ostrich as bird.
